In
1919, EL Bosque de Bolonia opens its doors in Old San Juan, Puerto Rico
as an Army & Navy store. It served the military stations in the
forts within the walls of the Old City.
The peculiar name has its origins in the location of where the Treaty
of Paris was signed. This treaty ended the Spanish-American War and was
signed in the Bois de Bologne , a forest near Paris, France. The
translation of the name of the forest is El Bosque de Bolonia.
In the 1950 s, it becomes the first uniform store in Puerto Rico and
starts supplying uniforms to factories, businesses and government
agencies, both local and federal.
In February 1970, it moves to its new and bigger building in Villa
Caparra, Guaynabo offering more access to the general public.
In the 1980 s, the company expanded its services adding retail/contract
decoration to garments. Since then, it offers embroidery, direct to
garment printing, transfer and die sublimation options to create so that
clients can put their logos/names in their garments. The company has
evolved into the best one stop Uniform store in Puerto Rico.

company s mission has been to offer its clients the best quality and
