UniFirst Debuts Fully Managed Restroom Service

WILMINGTON, MA -- UniFirst Corporation, a Provider of business uniform programs, facility service products and first aid and safety services, has launched Essential Series, a fully managed restroom solution that shifts restroom hygiene from a procurement hassle to a seamlessly managed service.

The Essential Series. The collection features a suite of eight dispensers for soap, paper, and air fresheners that pair a modern, timeless design with a proactive, expert-led service model, ensuring facilities stay fully stocked, clean, and visually cohesive.

"Our facilities are often the first point of contact for our customers and home base for our team, so maintaining a professional environment is important for us. Our team loves the look and feel of the dispensers," said UniFirst customer Charles Grandll, General Manager, Ballard Truck Center.

The Essential Series represents a sophisticated departure from traditional dispensers currently on the market.

"The Essential Series is about providing customers with one less thing to worry about," said Steven Sintros, president and CEO of UniFirst. "By turning restroom maintenance into a dependable, expert-managed service, UniFirst gives business owners the assurance that their facilities are aesthetically appealing, clean, and professional, allowing them to reallocate their most valuable resources, their people and time, to their most critical business priorities."

By offering a curated, unique design with a cohesive and intentional look, the collection is specifically tailored for the modern and professional feel of today's work environments.

• Timeless Design: Available in two classic design options (sleek black and white), the series will match any décor. The minimalist look ensures that the dispensers remain a modern classic avoiding the pitfalls of seasonal color trends and ensuring a perfect match during future facility renovations.
• Easy-Clean Surfaces: Form follows function with smooth, contoured surfaces. By eliminating unnecessary ridges and textures, the design allows for rapid wiping and sanitization, keeping the environment looking sharp with minimal effort.

"One-Key" Efficiency
To streamline facility management, the dispensers use a single lock and key system. This eliminates the "key ring clutter" often found in commercial buildings, making servicing easy for on-site staff and UniFirst service teams.

Restoring Peace of Mind Through Service Certainty
The Essential Series helps eliminate the worry that empty dispensers will negatively impact a company's brand reputation. By shifting from a reactive "order and refill" model to a professionally managed service, the program provides peace of mind through:

Proactive Service: UniFirst service-certified experts take full ownership of inventory levels. Businesses no longer need to monitor stock or handle emergency refills. UniFirst local service teams stay ahead of customer needs, so facilities remain fully stocked.

High-Capacity Dispensers: Engineered for high-traffic environments, the dispensers hold a larger volume of product than standard units to reduce the risk of runouts. By decreasing the frequency of required refills, the Essential Series™ minimizes operational interruptions and reduces the time staff must spend on restroom upkeep.
Predictable Billing: With a fixed service model and no upfront capital investment, operations leads can expect no surprise fees, just seamless service with expert inventory management. Transparent billing replaces the stress of fluctuating wholesale costs and unexpected equipment repairs.

"We transitioned to UniFirst because we needed a partner who valued transparency and proactive service as much as we do,” said Ballard. “Their Essential Series has not only elevated the look of our locations with its modern design, but the proactive service has also given our management team the freedom to stay focused on our core trucking operations without worrying about facility maintenance."

Closing the "Labor Gap"
The Essential Series also combats "operational drain," the lost productivity businesses spend on manual inventory tracking. By combining high-capacity restroom dispensers with proactive service, the program addresses the industry's labor gap by significantly reducing the frequency of required maintenance intervals, allowing on-site staff to stay focused on core business tasks.

The UniFirst Essential Series is available for installation across the United States and Canada.

Headquartered in Wilmington, Mass., the company manages specialized garment programs through its subsidiaries for the cleanroom and nuclear industries. Alongside partnerships with leading brands, UniFirst manufactures its own branded workwear, protective clothing, floorcare products, and restroom supplies at three company-owned facilities. UniFirst operates 270-plus service locations across North America, serves more than 300,000 customer locations, and outfits over two million workers daily with the support of 16,000-plus Team Partners.
