Danny Lawrence, CEO of Rental Uniform Service, acknowledged the significance of the family business and the decision to partner with Cintas. “Our family has tremendous respect for Cintas. They run a first-class business and put their focus on their customers and their employee-partners,” Lawrence said. The shared values and commitment to customer satisfaction made Cintas the ideal choice for the transition.
