“Features like the Tagless tee and legacy brands like the Hanes Beefy-T are an ideal complement to our existing product selection,” said Bob Winget, president of TSC Apparel. “With the addition of Hanes, TSC will have one of the strongest lineups in the industry for 2011 and beyond, and we are excited and optimistic about our new partnership.”
Further, Winget noted, “TSC has prospered and grown because of our focus on strong customer service and deep inventory of the basic items people buy every day. In our continuing efforts to enhance our product offering to our customers, we always came back to one brand name that was considered to be an ideal fit with our ‘being the best at basics’ approach to the market–Hanes.”
