FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
We've answered some of our most frequently asked questions for you. If you cannot find what you are looking for please feel free to contact us.

Why did you change your company name?


AmeriPride operated as American Linen Supply Co. for over 100 years. During this time we grew from a single push cart in Lincoln, Nebraska to a multi-national uniforms rental service and linen supply company. During those years of growth, American Linen expanded into new markets where we could not use the traditional company name. The result — we were operating with nine different names.

In order for our customers and prospects to understand our national scope and to create a consistent national brand, we chose a name that reflected our heritage and our pride — AmeriPride. We also added "Uniform Service" to our brand to communicate our full range of services.

Does AmeriPride sell directly in addition to renting?


Yes, we offer a wide range of apparel program options to fit any business needs. See Service Programs or Request a catalog.

Do you lease as well as rent?


Yes, we custom-tailor our services to meet your needs - whether you want to lease, buy direct or rent. See Service Programs.

Do you also sell products like soap, tissue, paper towels, etc?


Absolutely. We are a full-service, single-source, single-invoice supplier. You can handle all of your building maintenance, hygiene and wiping towels needs right here. See Facility Services.

Can you personalize uniforms with my company logo?


Yes, we offer direct embroidery, standard emblems and custom applications with our state-of-the-art embroidery system. See our 3-Step Personalization process.

Do you offer flame resistant apparel and safety wear?
