Re: Registration Statement on Form S-3
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as special Nevada counsel for Cintas Corporation No. 2, a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), and Cintas Corporation No. 3, a Nevada corporation (the “Guarantor”), in connection with the Registration Statement on Form S-3 (the “Registration Statement”), including the prospectus that is part of the Registration Statement (the “Prospectus”), filed by the Company, Cintas Corporation, a Washington corporation (“Cintas Corporation”), the Guarantor and Cintas Corporate Services, Inc., an Ohio corporation, with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on January 8, 2024 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).
The Prospectus provides that it will be supplemented in the future by one or more prospectus supplements (each, a “Prospectus Supplement”). The Prospectus, as supplemented by the various Prospectus Supplements, will provide for the issuance and sale by the Company from time to time of senior debt securities (the “Debt Securities”) to be issued pursuant to an Indenture, dated as of May 28, 2002, between the Company, Cintas Corporation, certain subsidiary guarantors, including the Guarantor, and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as successor trustee to Wachovia Bank, National Association, as trustee. The Debt Securities may be offered and sold from time to time pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act. Cintas Corporation and certain subsidiary guarantors, including the Guarantor, will guarantee the obligations under the Debt Securities pursuant to guarantees.
In connection with this Opinion Letter, we have examined originals or copies of such corporate records and certificates of public officials as we have deemed necessary or advisable for purposes of this opinion. We have relied upon the certificates of all public and corporate officials with respect to the accuracy of all matters contained therein. We have assumed the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity of natural persons and the conformity to originals of all copies of all documents submitted to us.

We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion letter as an exhibit to the Registration Statement and to the reference to Fennemore Craig, P.C. under the caption “Legal Matters” in the prospectus constituting a part of such Registration Statement. In giving such consent, we do not thereby admit that we are included in the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act or the rules and regulations of the Commission promulgated thereunder.
