From Dennis Uniforms to Anton Uniforms: A New Chapter in School Uniform Excellence

For over a century, Dennis Uniforms was a trusted name in the school uniform industry. Founded in 1920 in Portland, Oregon, Dennis Uniforms began as a manufacturer of professional attire and later expanded to serve the education sector. By 1947, the company launched its first line of school uniforms and opened its initial retail store. Over the decades, Dennis Uniforms grew to become a leader in the market, providing uniforms to nearly 2,000 schools and serving approximately 370,000 students annually. Their network included 37 retail locations across 20 states, cementing their reputation as a reliable partner for schools and families alike.

However, in October 2024, Dennis Uniforms abruptly closed its doors. The company cited severe financial distress and an inability to secure the necessary funding to continue operations. This sudden shutdown not only left thousands of students and schools without a uniform supplier but also resulted in over 100 layoffs in Portland and the closure of all retail locations nationwide. Schools and parents were left scrambling for alternatives, and a significant void was created in the school uniform market.

In this challenging environment, Anton Uniforms stepped up to fill the gap. Founded in 2011 by John and Amy Anton in Tempe, Arizona, Anton Uniforms was created with the mission of providing affordable, high-quality school uniforms combined with exceptional customer service. With over 30 years of experience in the apparel industry, we bring a deep understanding of the needs of schools and families, ensuring a seamless experience for all our customers.
