The Beginning:
In May of 2009 the owner of “The Lanai”, Mrs. Romi Boon Burrow, in search of a commercial property within B.C., stumbled across a very unique and rare lake side parcel in Peachland. Thrilled by it’s potential she immediately put her plan into action; to develop a classy ladies boutique that focused on uniqueness, customer satisfaction and continual change. With a clear vision in mind and with the assistance of her amazing staff “THE LANAI” Ladies Boutique proudly opened in March of 2010.
Our Philosophy:
When shopping the team at The Lanai strive to make everyone’s visit rewarding, fun and memorable …after all, a “fun” and “happy” environment is contagious thus everyone reaps it’s rewards (this is considered to be Romi’s greatest goal). Romi’s strong business philosophy comes from her business upbringing and her own 29 years of business ownership. Most importantly, she believes “No matter what you do, do it well”. Warm hearted, both she and her staff believe in being honest, attentive and caring in assisting their guests, their new friends 🙂
At Present:
Although The Lanai does carry a lot of recognizable lines Romi travels extensively to seek out new and exciting new ones. On that note, The Lanai was rewarded the rights to sell “Brighton” accessories (there are 125 Brighton stores in the US). Proudly, The Lanai is now Canada’s number one retailer of the “Shapeez Bra”. This amazing bra eliminates the dreaded back fat and delivers an amazing amount of comfort. Also, The Lanai is proud to be the only authorized dealer of “Jam’s World“, a clothing line manufactured and sold in Hawaii since 1964.
The Future:
Not one to be stagnant Romi believes in making continual and positive changes to and within The Lanai (through the arrival of new stock and being proactive in our buying). With the changes in seasons the store is a continually evolving, thus a visual feast! That said, in order to make room for new stock their sales are ongoing!
A Personal Note:
It’s with sincere pleasure that we together, at The Lanai, want make your visit to Peachland and to The Lanai both memorable and fun! That said, The Lanai takes team work and proudly we say, “What an awesome team we have”!
Our Motto:
“Where friends meet” ….. We’re happy to have met you!
