Retail Sales Associate

At DENNIS, we’ve earned the right to call ourselves the uniform experts! We’ve spent nearly a century designing uniforms and uniform programs in Portland, Oregon, USA. Proudly serving more than 2,000 top schools across the nation, we are much more than an outfitter – we forge lasting partnerships that benefit schools and families.

Founded in 1920, we got our start manufacturing nursing uniforms and even supplied apparel and linens to military personnel shipping out of the Port of Portland during World War II. After the war’s end we created our first line of school uniform apparel, including our first plaid. By 1951 we opened our first retail store, and over the ensuing years our business kept growing. Now we’re proud to serve schools all across the United States!

Our Brand Promise: DENNIS makes school uniforms easy.

Our Mission: To make it easy for schools to design and maintain best-in-class uniform programs that meet their goals and values, while providing families with seamless shopping experiences for high quality and comfortable uniform products that students deserve.
