Buying Scrubs: A Retailers Perspective

We are into month three of selling scrubs and uniforms, and one aspect that most people dont think about is the process of selecting clothing lines to carry in our store.

While we also research, select and buy product for our medical supply side, the clothing side is much different. Manufacturer reps actually bring racks of clothes to our store and personally showcase their new lines to us. All but one person in our office is female. Put the two together and you will understand the level of excitement at this new perk!

Its almost like having a personal shopper, and who wouldnt love THAT?!

Except we dont get to keep what we buy.

After the rep finishes his showcase, we usually talk about what would work, not work, and try on a few things to see how they fit and feel. And we are at work while doing this! Are you jealous yet?

We hope that you enjoy the great "sacrifices" we make for you!

Have a great weekend, everyone!
