C & B Linen

What C & B Linen does

C&B Linen is a privately held, family-owned commercial linen rental, laundering, and supply company founded in 2002 in Wayne County, Tennessee. The company cleans, maintains, and delivers linens — towels, sheets, napkins, blankets, aprons, hospital gowns, and bed pads — alongside door/runner/scraper mats and industrial cleaning and toiletry supplies, to healthcare facilities, hospitality businesses, restaurants, auto manufacturers, and home improvement retailers. Recurring pickup-and-delivery routes span Tennessee, Mississippi, Alabama, Southern Kentucky, Eastern Arkansas, and (as of October 2024) North Georgia, with a state-of-the-art processing facility opened in 2022 for West Tennessee and a 4,400-square-foot service facility in Red Bank, Tennessee, for Southeast Tennessee.

The company monetizes exclusively through a subscription-style, quote-based recurring service contract — pricing is described as "Simple Transparent Pricing" with no fuel or delivery fees, billed monthly with terms set by volume and service frequency. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales organized by geographic territory with named Territory Managers (Andrew Kelly for Middle TN / Northern AL / Northern MS, Matt Wells for West TN, and Michael Wild for Southeast TN), supported by a customer portal and reinforced by industry-association memberships (TRSA, ALM, CSC Network) and hospitality-association partnerships, most notably as the premier linen partner of the Nashville Area Restaurant Alliance (NARA). Underlying technology is a conventional third-party linen-master customer portal rather than a proprietary platform; no proprietary AI/ML, data assets, or APIs are disclosed.

C&B Linen is a wholly owned subsidiary of Wayne Halfway House, Inc. (a strategic operating parent) and operates under owner Jason Crews with a small corporate bench (Tommy Legins as VP of Operations/Finance, Allen White as PR and Marketing Director, a sales manager, a division manager, and three territory managers). The company holds the TRSA Healthcare Certification (a sector compliance credential for healthcare textile processing) and operates with a stated workforce-development mission of partnering with local youth homes for employment and skilled training.
