Meet Our Team
Gretchen Boland
San Francisco, CA
Gretchen was born and raised in San Francisco, California.
In 1995, Gretchen started her career with A+ at a young age assisting the customer service department and always connected to business hospitality. First as a part-time employee and soon thereafter as full-time, Gretchen quickly found her home working closely with the business founders and owners in a collaborative effort to create and provide trusting relationships and exceptional customer service. Her experience and product knowledge is some of the best in the company.
Happy to be a part of the A+ team, Gretchen consistently maintains that A+ is her family and her work, and she holds both in high regard. She believes that customer service combined with quality products are the foundation to a successful business.
Gretchen resides in the Bay Area with her daughter. Their hobbies include travel, both near and far, always willing to explore new destinations, a variety of cuisines and other cultures. She is passionate about and loves music, cultural and culinary arts.
At KL&P Marketing, we strive to bring product quality, trusting relationships and intelligence into everything we do. While developing a uniform program for the Atlanta Young Singers, we work closely with A+ Career Apparel to create a suitable, comfortable and smart apparel program for our customers.”

“At Becnel Uniforms, our reputation and recognition within the Southern California public transportation sector is very important. The suppliers we choose to outfit our customers such as the OCTA (Orange County Transportation Authority) and LA Metro are a direct reflection of the values and standards that represent Becnel Uniforms. I’ve been using A+ Career Apparel for many years to satisfy the sweater needs of my transit clients. In fact, my top selling A+ sweater is the Heavyweight Zip-Front Crewneck Transit Cardigan. I look forward to partnering with A+ for many years to come.”
- Susan Becnel, Owner
“Jeff Solomon at A+ Career Apparel has been a trusted and helpful business partner handling our account. Jeff has steered us to providing the most appealing products, especially sweaters, to our security clients. He has assisted us in trying to secure additional customers as well as aiding in retention of existing ones. I look forward to growing our business with A+ in the years to come.”
- Glenn Streidel, President
“There are 2 reasons we do business with A+ Career Apparel. First, the territory salesperson, Mr. Gill Lindsey and hi good, old-fashioned salesmanship and his personal initiative. The second reason is more personal. Having come from and now run a family-business, I have great appreciation for my fellow business owners, Mr. Ken Knoss and his two sons, Ryan and Vince. They are great people to know and do business with. When at a crossroads in developing proprietary garments, the A+ folks helped us through the entire development and then arranged for fabrics, dyeing, patterns, markers, cutting and sewing. They did it all and we did what we do best, sell it."
– Chuck Campbell, Co-Founder & President
“With a strong New England presence, Winter People administers uniform programs for nationally recognized hospitality companies. We utilize A+ Career garments in a variety of our programs because of the quality in make and material. Plus, they back that up with a Wear Tested Guarantee. The A+ sweaters are a quality standout for us.”
- Clay A. Bouton, Senior Vice President
“Hanover Uniform Co. has been working with A+ Career Apparel for over 20 years. Over that time A+ has proven to make a durable, high quality product with a very broad size scale and deep stock. In the last few years A+ has added a number of very competitively priced polos and dress shirts. A+ Career has come to be our valued partner. We count on them for our success.”
