About Levi's

We believe that clothes - and how you make them - can make a difference.

Levi's has a well-established business based on years of upholding a business culture framed around strong values and hard work. In 1965 it opened up its International Division and since then has been franchising extensively. The first Original Levi's Store outside of the U.S. was established in Spain in 1983. Since then it has grown successfully across 110 countries. Franchising is crucial to the success of the business, as half of its net revenue comes from outside the U.S.
 Levi's presence is quite prominent in the U.S., Canada, Western Europe and Japan. Its headquarters for dealing with business in the Americas is in San Francisco,with the European headquarters located in Brussels. In 2011 CEO Chip Burgh cut down on 150 franchises in India, because there were quite a few only operating one or two stores. Now there are only 22 franchises which operate a larger number of stores, increasing efficiency. 

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.
