History

[edit]

In 1888, the founder of Alsco Uniforms, George A. Steiner, began working a laundry delivery route in Lincoln, Nebraska, outside school hours. In 1889, he purchased the business for $50.80.[5][3][1] In 1895, the company relocated to Utah.[1] The company was inherited by George's son, Frank, who in turn handed it over to his son Richard after World War II.[1] In 2001, Richard retired and left the business to Kevin and Robert Steiner.[1] Kevin Steiner retired in 2022, leaving Robert Steiner as CEO.[6]
