Reyna Chavez, Scrubs on the Run

In 2011, Reyna started Scrubs on the Run based on her own experience working in the medical field. She saw that hard-working medical professionals needed a convenient way to shop for unique and affordable uniforms. She began by traveling to local hospitals, selling scrubs from her car, and in 2012 opened a retail store in Ventura. In 2014, she came to WEV for a loan to replenish her inventory and joined the Thrive program.  The WEV loan allowed Reyna to quit her full-time job so she could focus completely on her business. It also helped her hire her first part-time employee. Today she has three employees and continues to expand her product offerings.
