Named after UniFirst’s founder, the Aldo Croatti Award is presented to those RSRs who exemplify unparalleled customer service and satisfaction while retaining 100% of their customers for an entire fiscal year. Combined, the ten award winners service 1035 UniFirst business customers on a weekly basis.
