Going Commercial

摘要

Pilgrim Cleaners in Richfield, Minn., has done a good business laundering lab coats for a local dentists' group for the last 12 years. And operator Jim Fingerman didn't even go looking for the work-he was asked by the dentists. "They were dissatisfied with the service they were getting from the commercial-linen guys," Fingerman says. "When you're in a relationship with clients or patients, there is an image they like to see. When it comes to uniforms for people who work in garages, I don't think customers are going expect them to be anything but oily and dirty. But when the dentist walks in, I'd prefer not to see a blood-soaked lab coat."
