This was a big week for openings at Cabin John Village. Joining the new shopping lineup is Apricot Lane, a California-based chain making its Montgomery County debut under the direction of local franchisee Dana Kaplan Dorrier. The selection here is higher-end than most Apricot Lane stores, featuring brands like Elan, Vintage Havana, Z Supply, THML, Hidden Jeans, Pistola Denim and Spanx. Apricot Lane is the second boutique to open at Cabin John this fall, sharing the shopping center’s new central corridor with fellow newcomer Jurisdiction Clothing.
