What the business does: Dresscode, formerly known as The Scrub Shop, caters to local medical, restaurant and spa professionals who wear uniforms.

What steps are you taking to building your business: Hatler and her partner, Janette Munizich, changed the name from The Scrub Shop to Dresscode and expanded their hours. They also expanded their clothing line and now offer chef and spa apparel and EMT tactical pants.

Greatest challenge: Hatler said she is trying to teach people to take pride in their uniforms. They can get serviceable uniforms in several places but she wants them to know that they can buy more fashionable uniforms and make them more personal.
