Done deal

Wildman Business Group of Warsaw, Indiana, announced the acquisition of Ionia, Michigan-based Advantage Linen Supply.

James Barna, owner of Advantage Linen Supply, was looking for a partner to help grow the business to the next stage and continue to offer the same level of care to customers. As both family-owned companies with like-minded values, Barna knew Wildman Business Group was the partner of choice because of their reputation and dependability.  

Advantage Linen Supply has been partnering with WM Uniform for laundry processing on their rental garments for the last 13 years, which made this next step of partnership the logical choice.  

“We’re thrilled to welcome the Advantage Linen Supply customers to our greater Wildman network and further help Michigan business leaders succeed by keeping their teams and facilities clean, safe, and looking great. This addition furthers what we’re all about: wildly changing lives,” said Josh Wildman, CEO of Wildman Business Group. 

James Barna has been aiding in the transition for customers and is now working for WM Uniform in a First Aid Growth Route Representative role. “James has been a tremendous asset to our team with his sales and service expertise. We are excited about the future,” said Nate Younglove, General Manager of WM Uniform. 

Wildman seeks to partner with other independent service providers looking for a transition to provide an alternative succession plan to large national chains with the purpose of caring for customers and distributors and continuing their legacy.
