Vestis

Vestis is the uniform and workplace supplies business Aramark spun off in September 2023, now trading independently on the NYSE. It launched with more than 300,000 customer locations and roughly 20,000 employees across North America, making it the second-largest provider in the category behind Cintas. The service mix is broad — uniforms and workwear, floor mats, towels, aprons, linens, restroom supply, and first aid — which suits a wellness operator who would rather consolidate several small recurring facilities contracts into one. For a studio running towel volume across sauna, plunge, and shower zones, the towel and linen programs are the relevant lines. As with every provider in this category, service is delivered by local branch routes rather than centrally, so the national footprint tells you availability, not quality: get a reference from an existing customer on your specific route before signing.
