About Affordable Uniforms
In 1995 Mark Vana was 32 years old,
married with three young children, and had three jobs. One of his jobs was as a route salesman for an
industrial uniform rental company. This rental company often had an
excess of used garments that they would throw away simply because they
didn’t have room for them anymore. Mark had the idea to begin taking
these used, yet adequate work clothes and sell them to a small retail
store called Affordable Workwear, located in Garfield Heights, Ohio,
that sold new and used work clothes. Mark would take a cargo van full of
used work clothes to the manager of the shop for a couple hundred
dollars. The extra $200 that Mark made on these work clothes was a small
fortune for the young father of three. Some time later, Mr. Vana
noticed that Affordable Workwear was going out of business and he was
going to lose his much needed extra income. He decided to speak to the
owner about the decision. After meeting the owner of Affordable
Workwear, he began an immediate friendship with him based on their
common Christian faith and similar business interests. A deal was
arranged, and Affordable Workwear was no longer going out of business.
The work clothing company was soon under new ownership.
