To be eligible, public companies had to record at least $100

some of America’s most popular clothing companies including Michael
Kors (No. 1), TJX Companies (No. 19), American Eagle Outfitters
(No. 24), Gap (No. 29), and Under Armour (No. 30).
Adam Soreff, UniFirst’s director of marketing and
communications, says that UniFirst’s annual success is a great
achievement given today’s ongoing market and competitive
challenges. “We’re all extremely proud of our team’s efforts
throughout the U.S. and Canada to deliver service satisfaction to
our 300,000 business customers and maintain a steady course for
continuous growth year after year.” He continued, “So much of what
we do revolves around our strong customer relationships and the
commitment we have companywide to providing exceptional customer
service in an ever-changing market.”
“UniFirst continues to rank highly on our top 50 list year after
year,” says Jordan Speer, Apparel magazine editor-in-chief. “This
reflects the organization’s ability to perform financially as a
result of focusing on customer needs and adapting to challenges in
the marketplace.”
