Spotless Uniform members navigating road ahead after structure fire

It’s been a busy few days for those with Spotless Uniform, after a blaze that fully involved the location on Tuesday night.

The fire, occurring on the 3900 block of Kenworth Road, ended up causing $1.9 million in damages to the structure, though further damage beyond the building was prevented.

General Manager Tammy Holmgren said up to this point, its been a challenging and emotional time for everyone involved.

“This is a fifth generation family owned company. There is a ton of history here that is hard to watch go down right in front of you, and that was the case for employees that had worked here for decades.”

“It’s definitely challenging, but overall, I couldn’t be more proud of the team and how they’ve all come together to move forward, and we are looking for brighter days.”

Holmgren added their ability to recover has been impacted on the fact of what they’ve accomplished in the first 24 hours, such as getting their office back online and reaching out to customers.

Multiple industry professionals have stepped up to help get them back on their feet, adding she can’t thank them enough.

Holmgren said they do have other locations in the province, and are rerouting things and working with industry partners.

The cause of fire is remains unknown, and is under investigation.
