According to How2Media, the producers of “World’s Greatest!...”,
UniFirst was selected for the show based on its leadership position
in the industry and the company’s adept ability to fiscally perform
despite downturns in the economy. This is the second time the
company has appeared on national television, having previously been
featured on the hit CBS-TV reality series “Undercover Boss.” In the
episode, UniFirst President and CEO, Ron Croatti, went undercover
to work side-by-side with his staff and discover possible ways to
improve business operations and customer services at the company’s
hundreds of locations coast-to-coast.The UniFirst episode of
“World’s Greatest!...” featured the company’s Whippany, N.J.,
service facility, just outside of the Newark area. This operation
is one of UniFirst’s 240 facilities located throughout the United
States and Canada. “We’re honored that our company was recognized
by the “World’s Greatest!...” program,” said David Katz, senior
vice president of sales and marketing, who was also featured on the
show. “The television segment did a great job showcasing our
customer service-oriented ‘family’ culture, as well as our
technologically advanced operations that help us provide the
highest levels of customer satisfaction in our industry.”
“UniFirst has achieved annual company growth every year since
its founding in 1936, due in no small part to an understanding
of the need for continuous improvement and continual innovation in
servicing its customers,” said Gordon Freeman, executive
producer of the television show. “We got the story behind the story
with this great and growing 80-year-old company, and show viewers
why UniFirst was selected as the best in its category and,
therefore, featured on the show.”
