Founder, Janice M. Davis, established Jan's Boutique in Burlington, New Jersey in 1974 at age 25.   Jan started the business with a $10,000 loan from the bank and a $5,000 loan from her father, Anthony Davis.   As Jan's father put it, "Jan always had a passion for clothing and impeccable taste to match her passion-it wasn't hard to back that winning combination!"   Today, Jan's Boutique sells more eveningwear and sportswear than any other independent family-run boutique in the Delaware Valley.  

In April of 1974, Jan started selling daytime dresses, eveningwear, sportswear, and accessories from the street level in the front of her home in Burlington, NJ.   Within a few years, Jan expanded to larger store just down the road.   With her popularity rising year after year, she was forced to move again 6 years later to a more prominent location in Rancocas Woods, New Jersey.   After spending 8 years in Rancocas Woods, Jan's moved again to
Zagara's Town Place in Marlton, NJ.   Jan's 16th successful year in Marlton, NJ was her last.   Jan Boutique purchased a bigger and better home on Route 70 in Cherry Hill, NJ.   This new location will enable us to grow our business two-fold because it's proximity to Philadelphia market and of course it's current clientel need to only travel an extra 5 to 10 minutes further from it's Marlton location.   Not to mention will immediately offer more inventory....over 3,000 gowns and special occasion dresses are on display.   And Jan's still offers the best selection of Sportswear and Accessories....featuring over 2,000 different tops, jackets and bottoms to chose from in stock from over 50 designers.   Stop in and find out for yourself why Jan's Boutique is South Jersey's "Best Boutique" as voted by The Courier Post Newspaper, South Jersey Magazine and The Burlington County Times Newspaper.

Jan's Boutique is recognized both regionally and nationally for its unparalleled customer service- Service that goes way beyond the store's luxury gift-wrapping or the complimentary glass of wine or soft drink.   Jan's repeat clients often arrive to find a dressing room already filled with selected merchandise that fits their individual tastes.   At Jan's, our professional sales consultants know their customers by their first name, serve them refreshments while they shop, and even help them carry their packages to their car.

Paul, 34, is a self-taught marketing/advertising aficionado who has put Jan's on the map through the use of clever advertising campaigns and special events. Paul completes his tenth year at Jan's as the marketing-buying-and merchandising vice president of the company.

"Our ultimate goal is to ensure that our customers look sensational before they step out," said Davis.  "We understand better than anyone that special occasions don't take place everyday and that's why we are very committed to that customer."   Our customers look at us as the authority on eveningwear, it's our top priority to create a look of elegance for each and every customer whom steps into Jan's.

Jan believes her customers should be provided with the finest, personalized customer service in a "no-hassle", "no-pressure" to buy atmosphere.   "I attribute the large number of customers who travel to Jan's from as far south as Maryland and as far north as Long Island to our customer service philosophy," adds Davis.  Jan's feels absolutely confident that you will find no other store in your community, not to mention the Delaware Valley offering the selection and variety in your size in stock.   And if Jan's doesn't have the exact size or the perfect color for you then we will special order it for you.
