By Andrea Harwood<\/p>\n

Brooke McBride, a nurse practitioner moved to the area with her family from Vermont about a year ago. Upon arrival, she went to look for scrubs, a standard medical wear, for her new job.<\/p>\n

\u201cI did a quick Google search and discovered there was nothing anywhere around me closer of a 30-minute drive away,\u201d said McBride. \u201cI told my husband, \u2018We should just open our own\u2019. And so we just went for it.\u201d<\/p>\n

She opened The Scrub Shop, a medical apparel and accessory store at 462 Maple Ave. in Saratoga Springs on Aug. 19. She said business has been very good.<\/p>\n

McBride positioned her retail space on\u00a0 <\/span>Maple Avenue close to Saratoga Hospital, in an area with over 20 different medical offices. She started a grassroots marketing campaign.<\/p>\n

\u201cI went to every office in the area that would let me through the doors and I passed out marketing materials,\u201d she said. \u201cWe got a lot of customers that way. From there, our customer base grew from word-of-mouth and a strong social media presence.\u201d<\/p>\n

McBride works full-time in primary care as a nurse practitioner. Her husband and staff run the store when she is at work. This is McBride\u2019s first business, though her husband has a degree in business.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/b><\/span>\u201cI\u2019ve learned a ton,\u201d she said. \u201cThe hardest part was getting the store ready to open. Now that it\u2019s open, it\u2019s not that difficult to day-to-day things. But there were months and months of preparation.\u201d<\/p>\n

Inclusivity in sizing was important to McBride. The store carries a variety of sizes from XS to 5X, as well as petite and tall. It has a large men\u2019s selection as well.<\/p>\n

\u201cI absolutely love interacting with customers,\u201d said McBride. \u201cWhen they come in looking for something specific, and I can help them find exactly what they are looking for, and they leave with a purchase they\u2019re happy with\u2014honestly it\u2019s the most fun part.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Saratoga Scrub Shop also carries shoes, medical equipment and medical accessories. \u201cAnything a healthcare worker might need during they\u2019re shift, we\u2019ve got it,\u201d said McBride. There are also gift items like jewelry, mugs and stickers.<\/p>\n

The store is open Wednesday through Saturday, 11 a.m. to 7 p.m., and Sunday noon to 6 p.m.<\/p>\n
