North Star is a business-to-business service that supplies rental uniforms (and linens where applicable) for restaurants, caterers, labor/janitorial workers, and medical fields. It also does direct uniform sales and carries a full line of Dickies industrial clothing and apparel. The company's origins date back to the mid 1920s, but North Star didn't emerge in its current incarnation until 1985. The business's "Never Say No" customer-service philosophy has helped it thrive.
