What do you look for in a scrub store?

I am working with the owner of a scrub(uniform) store and was wondering if I could get some suggestions on what to sell in the store besides scrubs, and shoes. What kind of supplies do you guys have that your office or hospital doesn't pay for?

There are too many ugly scrubs out there. Sell good quality, nice looking scrubs at a decent price. If you go online with a store don't claim to have tons of scrubs at a good price and only have one style of scrub top that is ugly and $30. I bought my stethoscope online because the prices in the stores were too high. The only thing I buy repeatedly a few times a year is a disposable pen light. Good luck.

BP monitors, steths, penlights, charting pens, lanyards, maybe a few reference books - drug guides, etc.

Socks, solid color t-shirts (short & long sleeves), quality stethoscopes (not the $15 ones in bubblegum colors that more closely resemble a child's toy than a professional instrument), penlights, and a large selection of shoes, please. :)

I know someone else said it...but DEFINATELY long sleeve T's. Decent reasonably priced long sleeve T's are hard to come by.

i would love to see more petite pants. the dickies brand seems to be a popular in my hospital. i like different nic naks such as license plates, clip badge holders with things on the clip part like sports teams, smiley faces, crosses and colors. or caps , big face watches w/second hand and different styles of crocs.

i am sure there are so many things you can get to help sales. i know the little things i like and i see in the stores arould here.

good luck with your venture. i hope it goes well.
