                      NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

         Three and nine month periods ended March 29, 1997 and March 30, 1996
                                     (Unaudited)
                                           
1.  The consolidated financial statements included herein, except for the June
    29, 1996, balance sheet which was extracted from the audited financial
    statements of June 29, 1996, have been prepared by the Company, without
    audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
    Commission.  Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included
    in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
    accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules
    and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures are
    adequate to make the information presented not misleading.  It is suggested
    that  these condensed financial statements be read in conjunction with the
    financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company's latest
    annual report.

2.  In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited consolidated
    financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal
    recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial position as
    of March 29, 1997, and June 29, 1996, and the results of operations for the
    three and nine months ended March 29, 1997 and March 30, 1996, and the
    changes in financial position for the three and nine month periods then
    ended.

    The accounting policies followed by the Company are set forth in Note 1 to
    the Company's Annual Consolidated Financial Statements. 

    The results of operations for the three and nine month periods ended March
    29, 1997,  are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for
    the full year.

3.  Net income per share is based on the weighted average number of shares of
    common stock outstanding during the applicable period.

4.  In March 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement 
    of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings per Share," (SFAS 
    128), which changes the way companies calculate their earnings per share 
    (EPS). SFAS 128 replaces primary EPS with basic EPS. Basic EPS is 
    computed by dividing reported earnings by weighted average shares 
    outstanding, excluding potentially dilutive securities.  Fully diluted 
    EPS, termed diluted EPS under SFAS 128, is also to be disclosed.  The 
    Company is required to adopt SFAS 128 in the second quarter of fiscal 
    1998 at which time all prior period EPS are to be restated in accordance 
    with SFAS 128.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF OPERATIONS
    
REVENUES 

    Rental revenues from rentals and services totaled $85,032,000 and
$75,117,000 for the third quarter of fiscal 1997 and 1996 respectively, and
$248,628,000 and $216,828,000 for the first nine months of fiscal 1997 and 1996
respectively. Revenues for G&K's U.S. rental operations grew at 13.3% rate for
the third quarter and 15% for the first nine months of fiscal 1997 when compared
with the same periods last year.  Increased new account sales, expansion of
existing accounts, selective price increases, new market entries, and good
customer retention rates helped  achieve this result.  Revenues for Canadian
rental operations increased at a 12.7% rate for the third quarter and 13.0% rate
for the first nine months of fiscal 1997 compared to the same periods last year.
Revenues in Canadian dollars increased 11.9% for the third quarter and 12.8% for
the first nine months when compared to the same periods last year. There were no
significant changes in product mix or selling prices during the first nine
months fiscal 1997.

    Revenues from direct sales totaled $3,433,000 and $2,361,000 for the third
quarter fiscal 1997 and 1996 respectively. Revenues from direct sales totaled
$10,585,000 and $6,692,000 for the first nine months of fiscal 1997 and 1996
respectively. Increase in direct sales is due to higher U.S. manufacturing
division external revenues which utilize our manufacturing capacities above
internal needs.
 .

EXPENSES

    Cost of rental operations  totaled $46,221,000 and $41,339,000 representing
54.4% and 55.0% of revenues from rental operations for the third quarter fiscal
1997 and 1996 respectively, and $135,451,000 and $121,464,000 representing 54.5%
and 56.0% of revenues for rental operations for the first nine months of fiscal
1997 and 1996 respectively.  These improvements are a result of decreased
production and merchandise costs that come from efficiencies gained in the
rental operations and manufacturing of rental garments.

    Costs of  direct sales were $8,217,000 and  $5,139,000 representing 77.6%
and 76.8%  of direct sales for the first nine months of fiscal 1997 and 1996
respectively. The increase in cost of direct sales as a percent of revenues is
due to reduced gross margins on outside sales.
 
    Selling and administrative expenses were $20,753,000 and $17,507,000
representing 23.5% and 22.6% of revenues for the third quarter of fiscal 1997
and 1996 respectively,  and  $60,178,000 and $48,740,000 representing 23.2% and
21.8% of revenues for  nine months ended fiscal 1997 and 1996 respectively. The
increase is primarily from  the addition of new locations along with sales,
marketing and training costs from continued development and maintenance of
projects that maximize our continued internal sales growth rates.
    
    Depreciation expense equaled $5,118,000 and $4,679,000, for the third
quarter of fiscal 1997 and 1996 respectively. Depreciation totaled  $14,559,000
and  $13,116,000 for nine months ended fiscal 1997 and 1996 respectively. The
increase in depreciation of 9.4% and 11.0% respectively, is the result of 
investment of capital into new and existing locations.

                                          6


<PAGE>

    Interest expense of $4,828,000 decreased 22.7% in the first nine months of
fiscal 1997 when compared with the same period last year. The decrease is a
result of lower average interest rates.
                             
    Effective income tax rates were 39.3% and 38.9% in the first nine months of
fiscal 1997 and 1996. 


NET INCOME

    Net income for the third quarter of fiscal 1997 totaled $7,369,000
representing a 29.0% increase compared with the same period in 1996. Net income
for nine months of fiscal 1997 totaled $21,506,000 representing a 30.5% increase
compared with the same period in 1996.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

    Cash flows from operating activities were $24,639,000 in the first nine
months of fiscal 1997 compared with $25,603,000 in the same period last year. 
The  slight decrease is primarily the result of higher net income before
depreciation and amortization,  off-set  by growth in inventory and accounts
payable and other current liabilities.

    Net cash used for financing activities of $2,707,000 in the first nine
months of fiscal 1997 included the repayment of senior notes payable of
$9,000,000 offset by additional borrowing on the long term line of credit.  Net
cash used  in the first nine months of fiscal 1996 of $630,000 included a
payment on senior notes payable of $6,197,000 and additional borrowing on the
long term line of credit.

    Management believes that funds generated from operations and existing lines
of credit should provide adequate funding for current business operations and
debt service requirements.


PRIVATE SECURITIES LITIGATION REFORM ACT

    The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a "safe

such results may differ from those expressed in any forward-looking statement
made by or on behalf of the Company.  These risks and uncertainties include, but
are not limited to, those relating to development and business activities,
dependence on existing management, domestic or global economic conditions,
changes in federal or state laws or the administration of such laws, as well as
all other risks and uncertainties described in the Company's filings.
