                  (a) designed such disclosure controls and procedures, or
         caused such disclosure controls and procedures to be designed under our
         supervision, to ensure that material information relating to G&K

         in which this report is being prepared;

         affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, G&K Services,
         Inc.'s internal control over financial reporting;

5.       G&K Services, Inc.'s other certifying officer and I have disclosed,
         based on our most recent evaluation of internal control over financial
         reporting, to G&K Services, Inc.'s auditors and the audit committee of

         equivalent functions):

                  (a) all significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in
         the design or operation of internal control over financial reporting
         which are reasonably likely to adversely affect G&K Services, Inc.'s
         ability to record, process, summarize and report financial information;
         and

                  (b) any fraud, whether or not material, that involves
