Cintas to Close Centralized Stockroom Facility in Des Moines, IA

DES MOINES, Iowa–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Cintas
Corporation (NASDAQ: CTAS) announced today plans to gradually close
its centralized stockroom in Des Moines, IA over the next four months.
Cintas acquired this facility as part of its merger with G&K Services
earlier this year.

“Our strategy is to focus on the optimal distribution structure to
facilitate excellent customer service and future growth across our
entire organization,” said Terri Cain, Vice President of Distribution
for Cintas. “As part of our integration of the distribution network we
acquired from G&K, the company has made the decision to shut down this
facility and integrate the products into other stockrooms across our
company.”

The facilities closure will impact about 35 employee-partners. Cintas
has other facilities in the Des Moines market and affected
employee-partners are encouraged to apply for open positions at those
facilities. If the company is unable to offer continuing employment or
severance pay, optional continued healthcare coverage and job placement
help and resources will be provided. It is a top priority for the
company to assist these employee-partners and their families throughout
this transition.
