Cintas (CTAS) is in advanced talks to buy uniform-maker UniFirst (UNF), Bloomberg reported Thursday, citing people familiar with the matter.
A deal could be announced next week, although discussions could fall through or the timing could change, according to Bloomberg.
The companies are currently negotiating a price that exceeds the $275-per-share offer resubmitted by Cintas in December, the report said.
Cintas and UniFirst did not immediately respond to MT Newswires' request for comment.
