Our Business is Making You Look Good

When it comes to representing your brand, you can’t be boxed into rigid, cookie-cutter uniform rental or linen management programs that cost too much and cramp your style. Instead, we work with you to create a flexible program around your specific goals and budget. Our reputation is built around the value we bring while enhancing your corporate image with the products and services your company needs.

Why City? We Listen to You!

We’re a third-generation, family-owned, and operated business, so we know a thing or two about listening. And unfortunately, with many other businesses, listening to customers is a lost art. But, since 1944, we’ve been setting the bar for personalized service, attention to detail, and flexible programs by listening to our customers and putting your needs first.

People Are Our #1 Asset

You can be confident in our leading technology, a wide range of products and services, and state-of-the-art processing equipment. But what really gets the job done is our people. To provide exceptional service, we must have exceptional associates. We invest in our people through ongoing training, top-notch benefits and working conditions, and in-house advancement opportunities.

Our goal is not to be the largest service provider, but to be the best uniform and linen product experts and customer service providers your company expects and deserves. We are entirely devoted to the success of your image program. Thank you for the opportunity to be your supplier and trusted partner.
