                         MAC-GRAY CORPORATION COMPLETES
                         ------------------------------
                      ACQUISITION OF INTIRION CORPORATION
                      -----------------------------------

Cambridge, MA, and Walpole, MA, March 16, 1998 -- Mac-Gray Corporation
(NYSE:TUC) today announced that it has completed its previously announced
acquisition of Intirion Corporation for approximately 1.6 million shares of Mac-
Gray common stock and $1.0 million in cash.

With revenues of $23.5 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1997, Intirion
is the nation's sole provider of MicroFridge(R) products for the academic,
military, assisted living and hotel markets. Mac-Gray is the nation's leading
provider of card-and-coin-operated laundry equipment to the academic market.

The acquisition completes another step in Mac-Gray's growth, and considerably
expands its geographic base of business.  The ability to provide more products
and services to its existing customers is a core component of Mac-Gray's long-
term strategy.

Stewart MacDonald, Chairman and CEO, said, "We believe this merger provides both
companies with an abundance of opportunities."
