Cramers
100
One hundred years. Four generations. One family promise — to outfit and uplift the scholars of Philadelphia and Delaware. This is the Cramers story.
100 Years of Tradition
& Excellence
Cramers Uniforms was established in 1926 — and for a full century, through four generations of the same family, it has outfitted the students of Philadelphia and beyond.
What began as a single neighborhood uniform shop has grown into a regional institution serving schools and families across Pennsylvania and Delaware. Through changing decades and changing cities, one thing never wavered: a customer-first philosophy and personalized service for every school and every parent who walks through the door.
The mission has always been simple — high-quality uniforms at fair, affordable prices, without ever compromising on the care behind them. Cramers doesn’t just provide uniforms. It helps students walk into school with pride and confidence, ready to chase their wildest dreams. Today, under fourth-generation CEO Matthew Laken, that century-old promise carries forward stronger than ever.
“In uniform, we succeed.”
