Cindy is the heart and soul of UniFirst, and we're excited to celebrate her as the first recipient of this award."
Ms. Croatti expressed her gratitude in a heartfelt response, saying, "This recognition is deeply meaningful to me because it embodies the values my father, Aldo Croatti, built this company on. My father always said, 'You're only as good as your people.' I see that truth reflected every day in the dedication and passion of our Team Partners. I'm incredibly honored, but more than anything, I'm grateful to carry forward my father's vision and to help shape a future where our Core Values continue to guide us all."
