EXHIBIT 99.2




     REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

     TO G&K SERVICES, INC.:

     We have audited in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in
     the United States, the financial statements of G&K Services, Inc. included
     in this Form 10-K and have issued our report thereon dated August 10, 2001.
     Our audit was made for the purpose of forming an opinion on those
     statements taken as a whole. The schedule of valuation and qualifying
     accounts and reserves is the responsibility of the Company's management and
     is presented for the purpose of complying with the Securities and Exchange
     Commission's rules and is not part of the basic financial statements. This
     schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit
     of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, fairly states in all
     material respects the financial data required to be set forth therein in
     relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.
