We talked about it in our negotiations, especially with Cintas.............


We closed that deal in March, right when Covid hit and they were laying folks off. The only ones they could have used were the route drivers, as none of our production folks would want to drive to Culpeper every day to work. I think that they have hired one of our former route guys.

By the same token, the business we sold to Virginia Linen was all associated with the hospitality industry and you can imagine what Covid to that. Historically in April, we would be doing $42K - $45K per week in the hospitality business. One week this year we did $8,950! No in-person graduations locally, including the local colleges...JMU, Bridgewater, EMU, VMI, W & L, VT killed the motel/hotel and restaurant business, as you can imagine. We had all the foodservice business at JMU and UVa, and that still hasn't come back! The hospitality business is starting to come back slowly, but with no college football, oh well, what can I say! The week we closed the deal with Virginia Linen we did $32K and it should have been $50K+.
