UniFirst
Uniform and linen rental with laundering, mending, and replacement service.
Regions: US, Canada
UniFirst designs and rents uniforms and provides laundering, mending, and replacement service, competing directly with Cintas and Alsco in the commercial linen and uniform space. For a wellness franchise standardizing staff uniforms and towel service across locations, UniFirst is a reasonable second quote to get alongside Cintas or Alsco — pricing and service quality in this category are set locally by branch and route, not nationally, so comparing at least two providers in your specific market is worth the time before committing to a multi-year contract.
