Anyone know some decent scrub shops in Philly (the Center City area, in particular)? I'm new to the area and I start work soon -- and I cringe when I think of wearing my nursing school uniform scrubs again, so I definitely need to stock up!
Thanks!!

I don't knw about center city but I do know there are several shops in Olney on 5th street. (near 5th and Tabor, 5th and Nedro, etc...) Lots of people get scrubs from there, they used to be pretty reasonable. I believe you can also find a few shops around 69th st. I am from Philly, but bought my scrubs out in Pittsburgh while at school out there and have since moved back home. But my sis. has shopped at all of the locations I mentioned. Burlington coat factory sells scrubs, usully some Dickies brand but most are ceap and not for me. Modell's als started selling Dickies brand scrubs though they cost more than I wanna pay. Also if you've been to Abington, on Old York Road near the Target and TJ Maxx, there's a scrub shop. Oh yeah, and we can't forget the Scrub shop at Franklin Mills in the northeast, I think they recently opened up. Their prices are along with Life Uniforms but you can find some cheaper alternatives...they also carry the "Grey's Anatomy" brand scrubs...yeah I know...but they are the softest scrubs I've ever touched. If u haven't figured it out by now, I'm a scrub addict in seek of a 12 step program! You know its bad when you have more scrubs than clothes :) Sorry I don't have more info near center city (you could check the gallery?) as I dn't live near there, but you can catch a bus to all the locations I mentioned. If you need more specifics or find a really good shop let me know. :

I'm a scrub addict, too. Tafford is on 11th btw Chestnut and Walnut; there is another cheapo shop at 11th and Walnut or Chestnut. Central Uniforms has a pretty small collection. Life Uniforms is at the KOP mall and on Cottman Ave, but I don't care for their store brand pants - too scratchy! Now that I know what pants fit me and wear well, I buy them online from Allheart. I'm a weird size (xxs), and it took a lot trying on to get something that fits and is comfortable.
