Linens of the Week

Linens of the Week will open a new state-of-the-art industrial laundry facility in Chesterfield County in late November. The 50,000-square-foot plant will immediately provide more than 60 new jobs to the area.

This new plant will enable Linens of the Week to meet the growing demands in the Richmond and Tidewater areas, according to Ron Bubes, company president. The company has provided services in these areas since 1991.

“The establishment of a new facility in Chesterfield County is an integral part of our commitment to grow our business and provide the best in linen service to our customers,” he said.

“We are excited about this most recent announcement of a new business to come to Chesterfield County,” said Art Warren, chairman of the Chesterfield County Board of Supervisors. “It reflects the strong economy that Chesterfield enjoys.”

Though Linens of the Week will begin processing linens in November, a grand opening is planned for early March 2004. The new laundry facility is expected to produce more than 10 million pounds of laundry in its first year of operation.

Linens of the Week, a family owned and operated business, has served the hospitality and foodservice industries for more than 50 years. The company maintains its headquarters in Washington, D.C., operates six laundry and four distribution facilities in major markets along the East Coast, and employs more than 900 associates.

Chesterfield County Department of Economic Development and the Greater Richmond Partnership assisted Linens of the Week with its expansion.
