Item 7. Financial Statements and Exhibits.

        (c)  Exhibits.

             99.1  Press Release dated August 17, 2004.

Item 12. Disclosure of Results of Operations and Financial Condition

The information in this Item is furnished to, but not filed with, the Securities
and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") solely under Item 12 of Form 8-K,
"Results of Operations and Financial Condition."

On August 17, 2004, G&K Services, Inc. issued a press release announcing its
financial results for the fiscal quarter ended July 3, 2004. A copy of the press
release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this report and is incorporated herein
by reference. The press release contains certain non-GAAP financial measures,
including the organic industrial rental growth rate and free cash flow. The
organic industrial rental growth rate is calculated using industrial rental
revenue adjusted for foreign currency exchange rate differences, revenue from
newly acquired locations and the extra week recorded in the current quarter
compared to prior-period results. Management believes that by eliminating the
impact of the U.S.-Canadian exchange rate, the effects of the Company's
recent business acquisitions and the impact of the extra week recorded in the
current quarter, the organic industrial rental growth rate better reflects the
growth of our existing industrial business and is therefore useful in analyzing
the financial condition of the Company and the results of its operations. Free
cash flow is cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures.
Management believes that this is an important financial measure because it
indicates the Company's ability to expand, acquire additional business, pursue
debt reduction and pay dividends.
