Nationwide Healthcare Uniform Retailer Scrubs & Beyond Closes All Stores
Developing
In Short: Scrubs & Beyond, a major retailer of healthcare uniforms, is shutting down all of its brick-and-mortar locations, with many stores offering discounts on merchandise.
A nationwide healthcare uniform retailer, Scrubs & Beyond, is closing all of its more than 100 retail stores across 30 states, according to a statement from the company. Many locations are holding going-out-of-business sales with discounts ranging from 20% to 40% off all merchandise.
The Scottsdale, Arizona-based Kindthread acquired and relaunched the Scrubs & Beyond brand and stores in 2022, according to the Post Bulletin newspaper. The company, which has been in business for over 20 years, became the largest retailer of healthcare apparel and accessories in the country.
A message on the Scrubs & Beyond website reads: 'All Retail Stores Closing.' No other explanation was given. FOX Business has reached out to Scrubs & Beyond’s parent company, Kindthread, for comment. It is unclear how many employees will be impacted by the closings.
In a separate news item, L.L. Bean’s origin story is highlighted, but this is not directly related to Scrubs & Beyond’s closure. L.L. Bean’s history is noted for its focus on outdoor gear and apparel, though the company’s narrative does not provide context for Scrubs & Beyond’s business challenges.
