In the mid-1980s, Schaffer & Sons began expanding into the uniform business. Now, Schaffer & Sons is solely a uniform and logoed retail clothing supplier. Based out of Cleveland, Ohio and Boynton Beach, Florida, Schaffer & Sons provides screened and embroidered clothing items for retail sales as well as staff uniforms for all kinds of businesses. |
