ARAMARK Uniform Services introduces the CareGuard scratchless shirt

Business Wire, Feb 20, 1996

BURBANK, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 20, 1996--Finally a workshirt for the automotive service industries that is smart in both form and function.

The CareGuard shirt from ARAMARK Uniform Services is a quality-made 65/35 Poplin with convenient snaps instead of buttons. An ingenious protective flap that hides the snaps brings an added layer of safety and protection to employee uniforms in the service bay.

The CareGuard scratchless shirt looks sharp and is available in a wide variety of colors and in both short and long sleeves with plain front pockets. The style and wide range of color choices satisfy both your employees' preferences and company concerns to create an upscale image.

``Now automotive employees will enjoy the extra confidence the shirt instills with a front flap that conceals the snaps and prevents scratches,'' said Maryruth Wilson, director of market development at ARAMARK.

``They will be able to work comfortably around the vehicles they service. Unlike shirts with exposed buttons, the CareGuard shirt won't scratch expensive paint jobs or get caught when working in tight quarters.''

For a limited time ARAMARK is offering one free scratchless belt per employee to new customers renting a CareGuard shirt. The scratchless belt has no exposed metal buckle so workers can really lean into their work without worry. The CareGuard shirt and scratchless belt will give the service bay an extra edge of protection and practicality and show customers how much employees really care about doing a quality job.

The CareGuard shirt is available exclusively from ARAMARK Uniform Services operations across the country. Rental programs begin at a per-change cost of about the price of a cup of coffee. Leasing and direct purchase programs are also available. For more information on the CareGuard shirt and other ARAMARK Uniform Services products and services call 800/ARAMARK.
