- Work 'n Gear Ratchets Up
Unemployment may have hit the highest level in the last quarter century, but one company is working to keep shirts on the backs of laborers: Work ‘n Gear, a Weymouth, Mass.-based startup, raised $6.5 million from investors in a Series A financing, according to a regulatory filing. The company runs a chain of retail stores and an e-commerce website that sells clothing for working people, such as steel-toe boots, pants with re-enforced knee pads, chef’s hats, scrubs and lab coats. Work ‘n Gear carries such brands as Dickies, Carhartt and Nurse Mates in its more than 40 retail stores in the U.S. Northeast and Midwest.
