Our history dates back to 1936 when Davre and Henry Davidson founded Davidson Brothers, providing vending services in Southern California. In 1959, Davre Davidson partnered with William Fishman to establish Automatic Retailers of America (ARA), which went public in 1960. Over the decades, we've grown significantly, expanding our services and global reach. This includes servicing 16 Olympic Games, starting with Mexico City in 1968. In 1994, ARA Services officially became Aramark. We are committed to operating our business with social responsibility, focusing on initiatives that support our diverse workforce, advance consumer health and wellness, protect our environment, and strengthen our communities. We strive to make a positive impact through our services, whether it's providing nutritious meals to students, maintaining clean and safe healthcare facilities, or outfitting millions in uniforms. Our dedication to service excellence and innovation continues to drive us forward as we meet the evolving needs of our clients and the millions of consumers we serve worldwide.
