I work in the construction products biz and need safety clothing for worksite visits, plant ops, etc. I go to my local Mark's store and I swear they've turned it into Eddie Bauer. The hardhats, steel toe boots, work gloves, coveralls, etc. are all in the back corner like some ugly sister, while the store is filled with office casual clothing. I buy all my work casual clothes online at Land's End, LL Bean, etc. so wouldn't think of going to Mark's for these things, but they've been my destination for work safety gear for years.
I have to think that some marketing guru has told them to abandon their base customer and to go after the office crowd. I guess I'll take my biz to http://www.mistersafetyshoes.ca/. I've also just discovered the safety stores next to the Blue Banana in Kensington Market.
