Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (the “Financial Statements”) were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) applicable to interim financial statements. The Financial Statements reflect the historical results of operations and comprehensive income for the three and nine months ended July 3, 2026 and June 27, 2025, the financial position as of July 3, 2026 and October 3, 2025, and the cash flows for the nine months ended July 3, 2026 and June 27, 2025 for the Company and are denominated in United States (“U.S.”) dollars. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the Financial Statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information not misleading. These Financial Statements reflect, in the opinion of management, all material adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to fairly state, in all material respects, the Company's financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.
Intercompany Transactions	All intercompany transactions and balances within the Company have been eliminated.
Use of Estimates	Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the Financial Statements and accompanying notes. The Company utilizes key estimates in preparing the financial statements including revenue recognition, litigation and claims, environmental estimates, goodwill, intangibles, allowance for credit losses, inventories and rental merchandise in service, costs to obtain a contract, insurance reserves, income taxes and long-lived assets. These estimates are based on historical information, current trends and information available from other sources. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates.
Fair Value of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities	Fair Value of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Assets and liabilities recorded at fair value are classified based upon the level of judgment associated with the inputs used to measure their fair value. The hierarchical levels related to the subjectivity of the valuation inputs are defined as follows: •Level 1—inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets •Level 2—inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument •Level 3—inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement Recurring Fair Value Measurements The Company’s financial instruments consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, financing leases, derivatives and borrowings. Management believes that the carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, financing leases and borrowings approximate their respective fair values. Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements The Company’s assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis include assets held for sale, long-lived assets, indefinite-lived intangible assets and goodwill. The Company reviews the carrying amounts of such assets at least annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Any resulting asset impairment would require that the asset be recorded at its fair value. The resulting fair value measurement of the assets are considered to be Level 3 measurements.
Receivables	Receivables Receivables represent amounts due from customers and are presented net of allowance for credit losses. Judgment and estimates are used in determining the collectability of receivables and evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses. The Company estimates and reserves for its credit loss exposure based on historical experience, current general and specific industry economic conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amount in estimating credit losses. Credit loss expense is classified within Selling, general and administrative expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss).
Inventories	Inventories Inventories are valued at the lower of cost (principally the first-in, first-out method) or net realizable value. The Company records valuation adjustments to its inventories if the cost of inventory on hand exceeds the amount it expects to realize from the ultimate sale or disposal of the inventory. These estimates are based on management’s judgment regarding future demand and market conditions and analysis of historical experience.
Rental Merchandise in Service	Rental Merchandise in Service Rental merchandise in service represents personalized work apparel, linens and other rental items in service. Rental merchandise in service is valued at cost less amortization, calculated using the straight-line method. Rental merchandise in service is amortized over its useful life, which primarily range from one to four years. The amortization rates are based on the Company’s specific experience and wear tests performed by the Company. These factors are critical to determining the amount of rental merchandise in service and related Cost of services provided (exclusive of depreciation and amortization) that are presented in the Financial Statements. Material differences may result in the amount and timing of operating income if management makes significant changes to these estimates.
Other Assets	Other Assets “Other assets,” as presented in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, is primarily comprised of the noncurrent portion of employee sales commissions, internal use software, consideration payable to a customer at the beginning of the contract, noncurrent pension assets, certain preparation costs and long-term receivables. The internal use software costs, that are included in “Other Assets,” represent capitalized costs incurred to purchase or develop software for internal use and are amortized over the estimated useful life of the software, generally a period of three to 10 years. Such internal use software as of July 3, 2026 and October 3, 2025 was $29.2 million (cost of $162.5 million less accumulated amortization of $133.3 million and $32.1 million (cost of $158.4 million less accumulated amortization of $126.3 million), respectively. Amortization expense related to internal use software, which is included within Selling, general and administrative expenses on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss), was $2.3 million for the three months ended July 3, 2026 as well as for the three months ended June 27, 2025. For the nine months ended July 3, 2026 and June 27, 2025, amortization expense related to internal use software was $7.0 million and $8.8 million, respectively. Employee sales commissions represent commission payments made to employees related to new or retained business contracts.
Assets Held for Sale	Assets Held for Sale Assets held for sale are recorded at the lower of their carrying value or estimated selling price less estimated costs to sell and are classified within Other Current Assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Depreciation is suspended upon classification as held for sale. The highest and best use of these assets is as real estate properties for use or lease and the Company intends to sell them to third parties as quickly as practicable.
Accrued Expenses and Other Current Liabilities	Accrued Expenses and Other Current Liabilities As of July 3, 2026 and October 3, 2025, Accrued Expenses and Other Current Liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets include insurance accruals related to automotive, general liability and workers' compensation reserves of $21.8 million and $16.1 million, respectively. The remaining components consist primarily of unearned income, rebates, group health insurance, taxes and environmental reserves (see Note 8. Commitments and Contingencies).
Other Noncurrent Liabilities	Other Noncurrent Liabilities Other Noncurrent Liabilities as presented in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets include the long-term portion of insurance reserves related to automotive, general liability and workers’ compensation of $43.7 million and $36.9 million, as of July 3, 2026 and October 3, 2025, respectively. The remaining components consist primarily of environmental reserves (see Note 8. Commitments and Contingencies), asset retirement obligations (see Note 8. Commitments and Contingencies), and the noncurrent portion of deferred income. Following the Separation from Aramark on September 30, 2023, the Company has primarily been self-insured for workers’ compensation, general, and automotive liabilities. Self-insured liabilities are based upon actuarial methods to estimate the future cost of claims and related expenses that have been reported but not settled and have been incurred but not yet reported. These estimates are reviewed and adjusted as the facts and circumstances change. Self-insured liabilities are included in “Accrued Expenses and Other Current Liabilities” and “Other Noncurrent Liabilities” in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets based on the expected timing of ultimate settlement.
Revenue Recognition Policy	Revenue Recognition Policy The Company generates and recognizes approximately 95% of its total revenue from route servicing contracts on both uniforms, which the Company generally manufactures, and workplace supplies, such as mats, towels, and linens that are procured from third-party suppliers. Revenue from these contracts represent a single-performance obligation and are recognized over time as services are performed based on the nature of services provided and contractual rates (output method). The Company generates its remaining revenue primarily from the direct sale of uniforms to customers, with such revenue being recognized when the Company’s performance obligation is satisfied, typically upon the transfer of control of the promised product to the customer. Revenue is recognized in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for the services or products described above and is presented net of sales and other taxes we collect on behalf of governmental authorities. Certain customer route servicing contracts include terms and conditions that include components of variable consideration. Variable consideration may arise from multiple sources, including performance-based incentives (such as rebates or discounts tied to the achievement of certain volume levels) as well as pricing adjustments, including off-cycle price increases, surcharges, and other customer-specific pricing actions, where the ultimate amount of consideration is subject to customer acceptance or contractual terms. To determine the transaction price, the Company estimates variable consideration using the most likely amount method, based on the specific contract provisions, known performance results, and historical experience with similar arrangements. The Company evaluates whether estimates of variable consideration should be constrained by assessing whether it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty is resolved. This assessment includes consideration of factors such as contractual terms, customer acceptance patterns, historical realization rates, and observed trends in customer activity and performance, as well as the magnitude of potential reversals. The Company’s performance period generally corresponds with either a weekly or monthly invoice period. No significant constraints on the Company’s revenue recognition were applied during the three and nine months ended July 3, 2026 nor the three and nine months ended June 27, 2025. The Company reassesses these estimates during each reporting period. The Company records liabilities for certain forms of variable consideration, such as rebates and discounts, within Accrued expenses and other current liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Variable consideration can also include consideration paid to a customer at the beginning of a contract. This type of variable consideration is capitalized as an asset (in "Other Assets" and "Other current assets" on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets) and is amortized over the life of the contract as a reduction to revenue in accordance with the accounting guidance for revenue recognition.
