ARMK

Aramark

A provider of food and facilities services, Aramark runs cafeterias, dining halls, and building services for schools, hospitals, offices, stadiums, and correctional facilities in 16 countries. It began in 1936 when Davre Davidson started a vending business in Los Angeles, famously running it from his kitchen table and using the trunk of his 1932 Dodge as a warehouse. He merged with William Fishman in 1959 to form Automatic Retailers of America, which was renamed Aramark in 1994.
