Lover's Lane Buys Northern Ohio Chain 'Ambiance'

Lover's Lane Buys Northern Ohio Chain 'Ambiance'

CLEVELAND — Northeast Ohio pleasure product chain Ambiance has been sold to Michigan-based Lover’s Lane.

According to a report today by Cleveland Scene, Ambiance founders and owners Jennifer Downey and Henry Keiluhn sold the chain the latter had founded in 1981 to Midwest retailer Lover's Lane — currently boasting 32 locations — last week.

“We are excited because there are consistencies in our business models,” Downey wrote in an announcement. “Lover’s Lane sells similar items such as gift lotions and massage oils for couples, doesn’t sell X-rated videos and their stores are located in suburban shopping centers like all of our stores. Their sales staff also works to provide the romantic resources for people to find the products they want and need to enhance their romance and love lives.”

According to Cleveland Scene, the couple’s “dream of turning Ambiance into the Blockbuster of adult stores — ones targeted to soccer moms and everyday couples in the suburbs — came true.”

Ambiance once made CWRU's Weatherhead School of Management's list of the fastest-growing companies in Cleveland, the paper noted.

Ambiance — which used the tagline "Store for Lovers" — ran seven locations in Ohio.

‘“Ultimately, we were innovative in the friendly, supportive way we presented our products for mature adults,” the statement continued. “For 40 years and multiple generations of customers, we helped couples connect, love and support each other. We know that when they do that, it teaches their children what a loving relationship looks like and we expect Lover’s Lane to carry on with our philosophy.”
