      We have audited the consolidated financial statements of G&K Services,
      Inc. as of July 3, 2004 and June 28, 2003, and for each of the three years
      in the period ended July 3, 2004, and have issued our report thereon dated
      August 13, 2004 (included elsewhere in this Form 10-K). Our audits also
      included the financial statement schedule listed in Item 15(a) of this
      Registration Statement. This schedule is the responsibility of the
      Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion based on
      our audits.

      In our opinion, the financial statement schedule referred to above, when
      considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole,
      presents fairly in all material respects the information set forth
      therein.
