Why Travel To Our Store?

Today we had a woman from South Carolina come into our store and buy a Gail Garrison dress. Now don't forget that our exclusive, 6,000 square foot dress boutique is in Cherry Hill, NJ. That's a long way, wouldn't you think? But traveling to Jan's Boutique is well worth it. Why, might you ask? Well let me tell you. While I'm at it take a look at one of the premiere, Gail Garrison selections.


3057: This elegant satin charmeuse gown will flatter your figure as you will be noticed all evening.

Jan's has been voted as the "best women's dress boutique" in the Delaware Valley by the publications of The Philadelphia Inquirer, South Jersey Magazine, The Trend, The Courier Post, The Burlington County Times and SJ Magazine. Our excellent customer service and large selection of dresses are two good reasons why we have a loyal local customer base, however there are many other reasons why customers will travel over four hours to visit our store.

If you are from another state, you can save on sales tax. You can save as much as 8% in taxes if you live in areas such as Philadelphia, New York City, Washington, DC or Richmond, VA. There is no sales tax on evening wear in our Cherry Hill, NJ store.

Many customers travel to buy a dress because they want something different than what their local store carries. Who wants to be at a formal affair and realize they are wearing the same dress as their neighbor? With our selection of over 4,000 dresses in stock, that's something you won't have to worry about.

Nowadays, not everyone is the perfect size 4 or 6. Gowns and evening wear are cut small so most women will need a larger size dress. Jan's carries sizes from 0 to 28 but the fantastic thing is we also have a wide selection of plus and women sizes.

Whether you are looking for a mother of the bride or groom dress, shopping for a special black tie affair or you're a second time bride looking for the perfect dress, drive to Jan's and you will not be disappointed. We have several trunk shows going on now including a Jovani trunk show and Alyce Designs trunk show where you can preview the 2009 fall - winter collections as well as get a sneak peek of the 2010 spring - summer collections.
