iFabric Corp. Announces 1,000 Store Expansion of Doctor's Choice(R) Scrubs at U.S. National Retailer
MARKHAM, ON / ACCESS Newswire / March 4, 2026 / iFabric Corp. ("iFabric" or the "Company") (TSX:IFA)(OTCQX:IFABF) is pleased to announce that its wholly-owned subsidiary, Intelligent Fabric Technologies (North America) Inc. ("IFTNA"), has secured a 1,000‑store expansion of Doctor's Choice® scrubs at a leading U.S. national big‑box retailer. This expansion significantly broadens in‑store access to Doctor's Choice® scrubs following the program's initial rollout, which began online and progressed into stores during late 2025.
The Company believes this expanded footprint reflects the retailer's confidence in the Doctor's Choice® scrubs program and validates both the strong consumer acceptance of the brand and the performance benefits delivered by the IFTNA proprietary textile technologies integrated into the collection.
"An expansion of this magnitude is a tremendous milestone for Doctor's Choice® scrubs and for IFTNA," said Giancarlo Beevis, President & CEO of IFTNA. "A move to an additional 1,000 stores is a clear signal that the retailer believes in the product, the brand, and-most importantly-the differentiated performance story our technologies deliver to healthcare professionals every day," added Mr. Beevis.
Doctor's Choice® technology enhanced scrubs were developed to combine comfort, durability, and practical clinical features with IFTNA's performance finishes. The current Doctor's Choice® scrub platforms integrate multiple IFTNA technologies, including:
PROTX2® (Advanced Antimicrobial) combined with ecoPEL™ (Durable Water Repellency)
PROTX2® (Advanced Antimicrobial) combined with DryTX™ (Moisture Management)
PROTX2® and ecoPEL™ have been supported by IFTNA's recently announced peer‑reviewed clinical trial results, which demonstrated statistically significant reductions in surface bacterial contamination on treated scrubs worn in real‑world healthcare environments compared to untreated scrubs. The published trial results can be found at:

"Healthcare professionals have been waiting a long time for medical textiles that don't just claim performance-but are supported by real clinical evidence," continued Mr. Beevis. "We believe there is pent‑up demand across the medical community for apparel that can offer an added layer of protection for professionals and their patients. The rapid expansion of Doctor's Choice® scrubs strongly reinforces that demand and the end-user acceptance of this game‑changing and clinically-validated technology," concluded Giancarlo Beevis.
The Doctor's Choice® scrub assortment is available both online and through the retailer's expanding store network. Consumers can view the Doctor's Choice® collection online at:
