A one-stop outfitter for tradespeople and businesses. Their first store opened in 2010, and their original mission was to serve local markets and solve the simple need of carrying what Blue Collar families needed, from boots to uniforms to safety equipment.


Today, Purpose Built is known as the home of the trades. But the word “trades” today takes on a different meaning, expanding beyond blue-collar work as we’ll explore with our friend Ryan McAlister, who came on board at Purpose Built to become the director for Purpose Built Pro.

Today, we talk with Ryan about this incredible business they’ve built in California, their expansion into the industry providing workwear, plus how their audiences have widened to include not only the trades but also this huge market for transitional workwear. 

Join us as for this unique and dynamic story and truly one of the most purpose built companies working today!
