Vestis Layoffs to New Opportunities: Ace Uniform Welcomes Former Vestis Employees

The Vestis layoffs have shaken up our industry and community. We are welcoming those affected to apply at Ace Uniform today!

In August 2025, the uniform, linen, and mat rental industry was shaken by major layoffs at Vestis. Reports indicate that 300 or more account executives were let go, representing 50% to 100% of sales staff in certain areas. Affected employees were notified via Microsoft Teams and escorted out the same day, describing the process as abrupt and “apathetic.” These layoffs come less than two years after Vestis was spun off from Aramark in October 2023. While the exact reason remains uncertain, some speculate that company debt may have played a role in these mass layoffs.

What’s clear is that talented, experienced sales professionals—many of whom were meeting or exceeding their targets—are now seeking their next career chapter.
