ST. LOUIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 23, 2001

ARAMARK Uniform Services, a leading supplier of uniforms and career apparel to over 1.5 million people at more than 450,000 businesses worldwide, kicks off their national promotion campaign by giving away the Grand Prize, season tickets to the St. Louis Cardinals' home games.

The promotion was developed to increase awareness of the company and the findings of a newly released study that shows consumers prefer people in uniforms.

ARAMARK Uniform Services teamed up with The Voice of St. Louis, KMOX AM-1120, to give away the prize and will also give free lunches to workers who listen to the station and show up at broadcast remote locations around the city wearing their work uniforms. Everyone at these events will be encouraged to enter into the Grand Prize Drawing for the season tickets.
