Woodbridge Medical Uniforms Shop Caught Up In Nationwide Closure

The Woodbridge branch of a nationwide medical uniforms provider will shut when all of its locations close.

WOODBRIDGE, VA – A nationwide medical uniform retailer is closing down all of its brick-and-mortar shops, including its Woodbridge location.

The Scrubs & Beyond retailer announced the closure on its website and urged customers to "shop the sale." No date for the closures has been announced.

Acquired by Arizona-based Kindthread in 2022, the brand has more than 100 stores nationwide across 30 states, including two in Virginia, one in Richmond and one in Woodbridge.

Kindthread has not offered a reason for the closures or said how many employees will be affected by the decision.

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."
