The closure announcement comes just months after Kindthread opened its first standalone site in Los Angeles that included Scrubs & Beyond merchandise.
At the time, the company described the shop as "a new model for healthcare apparel retail: a curated, expert-staffed destination carrying multiple collections under one roof, with ship-to-home convenience built into the experience from day one."
