About Us

 This company is now in its 2nd generation and run by the two daughters , Jennifer and Jeanette.

 Fashion Scrubs by Miami Uniforms is a typical story of a Small Home Based Business at its best, which most entrepreneurs will relate to and appreciate.

The Company was started in 1990 by Mike. At the time he was a single parent raising two daughters, Jennifer & Jeanette. Mike owned a takeout Pizzeria which he started in 1984. He also held a full time Job as a restaurant manager. The Company was started as an Import Company called Miami Towel and Linen, importing Aprons and Bar/Kitchen Towels. Mike knew the owners and managers of local restaurants and so he was peddling these items to them.

One day while delivering aprons and shirts to a restaurant kitchen, a cook asked him if he could get a white V-Neck Scrub as it was more comfortable. Mike, having no idea where to get them, started looking in the yellow pages, (This is before he knew how to use the internet ), and found a local manufacturer of scrubs and met with the owner. They sold him the white scrub tops along with scrubs in colors, suggesting Mike sell them to doctors and dentist offices.

On his very first visit to a dental office when Mike was showing the scrubs to the office staff, the dentist came out and said "are you selling scrubs here in my office". You all can guess what Mike thought at that defining moment, however these were the dentist next famous words, " I need 5 sets and let the staff have 2 each and I will pay for them, thanks, got to get back to work."

Mike started selling to Hospitals, nursing homes, doctor's offices, cafeterias, to a point where the supplier could not keep up with the orders and uttered the famous words "BACK ORDERS". The local manufacturer finally said "welcome to the Scrub Industry, Mike,  get used to backorders".

Mike could not accept this and said "Why don't you just make more, I must deliver these orders or I will lose the customers", He replied "If you want them any sooner make them yourself'.  Mike said "I will, if that's what it takes" and so the manufacturer said "Sure, everybody thinks they are a manufacturer, go ahead, I will even let you use my patterns". This is how our company began its manufacturing.

That was 1991 and the rest is history. In 1992 the Pizzeria was sold (3 days before HURRICANE ANDREW hit the area). Mikes two daughters were being trained in the family business during all of this time and were working part time at the pizzeria after school and working part time with the scrubs.

Around 1997-98, the Owner of the Manufacturing company that Mike originally used to purchase from, retired. Mike bought most of that company's equipment, patterns, Etc. and combined it with ARMATH, Inc. in a partnership to open a nice size factory together.  All the garments where made here in Miami, but that soon changed due to high cost of US Labor. The Miami factory was closed in 2003, and with New Partners they went overseas to Mexico, China, Pakistan, D.R , Haiti, Etc.

Present day, In 2009:

Mike has Semi retired and will soon fully retire. The company and its operations are being managed  by the two daughters, Jennifer and Jeanette. They are currently operating a 16,000 sq ft wholesale distribution center in South Miami,Florida.
