About Us

Jamey Elrod, a stay-at-home Mom from Chattanooga TN, started Educational Outfitters Franchise. She was frustrated with the lack of good service and lack of good retailers offering school uniforms. From her humble beginnings in her garage back in 1998, Educational Outfitters has grown to over 25 locations across the country to be the #1 school uniform retailer in a $1 billion industry.

In fact, Educational Outfitters is America's one and only school uniform franchise. The highly lucrative school uniform and school apparel business serves as the core business for EO owners, but our menu of products and services doesn't stop there. We offer additional revenue programs like on-site embroidery, screen printing, alterations, and promotional products. The demand for these services continues to grow, and Educational Outfitters is well-positioned to be the brand leader in this untapped and under-served marketplace.

Why Educational Outfitters?

Educational Outfitters created and offers an additional profit center to serve the needs for the exploding corporate logo wear sector. CustomLogo Outfitters was a natural off-shoot servicing the business and corporate apparel market. It's almost like getting two franchises for the price of one. You will be able to draw upon our industry knowledge, preferred discounted pricing programs, experienced support staff, and unique systems to create an enjoyable business and desirable lifestyle for both you and your family.

This representative will actually go on sales calls to schools with you for these three days.
