ImageFIRST Acquires Chicago South Franchisee

ImageFIRST recently announced the acquisition of its largest remaining franchisee, ImageFIRST Chicago South, which provides medical laundry services across southern Illinois, most of Indiana and a large part of Kentucky. Terms of the transaction were not disclosed, according to a news release.

“ImageFIRST Chicago South founders Jack Vroegh and Brian McNary, along with their wives Annette and Missy, have done a tremendous job growing their business into one of our strongest locations,” said Jeff Berstein, CEO of ImageFIRST. “They have truly built an exceptional business and best of all; they have built it the ImageFIRST way!

“The ImageFIRST team and I are excited to continue working with Jack, Annette, Brian and Missy, as well as the rest of the team as the Chicago South franchise becomes an official part of our corporate organization. I look forward to their continued success as members of the ImageFIRST family.”

ImageFIRST continues to expand its national footprint through a combination of organic and acquisition-driven growth, and the acquisition of its Chicago South franchisee represents the third major deal that ImageFIRST has completed in the past 12 months. The company has 41 locations nationwide that serve more than 14,000 medical facilities every week.
