EXHIBIT 10(j)


FORM OF EXECUTIVE EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT


             THIS
AGREEMENT is made and entered into on this 5th day of March, 2001, but
effective as of the __ day of _______, 2001 (the "Effective Date"),
by and between G&K SERVICES, INC., a Minnesota corporation with its
principal business office in the State of Minnesota (hereinafter
"Employer"); and ________________,a Minnesota resident now employed
at Employer's Corporate Office in Minnetonka, Minnesota (hereinafter
"Executive").


INTRODUCTION


             A.         Employment and Protection of
Employer.  Since before the
Effective Date, Executive has been and is presently employed by Employer in the
capacity of ______________reporting to Employer's __________________).  Employer desires to retain Executive as an
employee and obtain Executive's promises not to harm Employer (as set forth in
Article 7).  Article 7 of this Agreement
includes a description of Employer's "Confidential Information."  In Executive’s position with Employer,
Executive has access to and control over certain of Employer’s Confidential
Information, which Employer has developed at great expense, time and
effort.  As a result, disclosure of any
such Confidential Information to a competitor would cause irreparable harm to
Employer, and Employer is not willing to offer Executive the new and additional
benefits set forth in this Agreement unless Executive signs this Agreement to
provide Employer with reasonable protection for its Confidential Information,
and to protect Employer in other ways set forth in Article 7.


             B.         New Benefits.  For those purposes, Employer is willing to
grant to Executive, as of the Effective Date, new benefits to which Executive
is not otherwise entitled, consisting of: (1) certain new restricted shares of
Employer Stock (as described in Article 4), pursuant to the Restricted Stock
Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit A and the Employer's 1998 Stock Option and
Compensation Plan; and (2)  the right to
receive certain severance compensation and outplacement benefits (as described
in Articles 5 and 6), if Executive's employment with Employer terminates under
certain circumstances described therein, including without limitation in
connection with a Change in Control (as defined in Article 6).


             C.         Other Intentions.  Executive desires to accept Employer's offer
of the new and additional benefits set forth in this Agreement, to which
Executive is not otherwise entitled; and to continue his salary, incentive
compensation and other benefits and perquisites at levels that reflect Executive's
past contributions and anticipated future contributions to Employer.


             Executive
agrees, as a condition of Employer's offer of 
the new and additional benefits set forth in this Agreement, to sign
this Agreement in order that Employer may have reasonable protections against
the disclosure of its Confidential Information and other conduct of Executive
prohibited by Article 7 of this Agreement.

involving or affecting Employer;



             (e)         any gross negligence or other willful
or intentional act or omission of Executive having the effect or reasonably

Executive's death or a termination by mutual agreement) shall be communicated
by written Notice of Termination to the other party hereto.



             (b)         For purposes of this Agreement,

calendar days after the date on which the Notice of Termination is given,

either before or after receiving  such
Notice of Termination.

compensation and benefits to which Executive is otherwise entitled under this
Agreement and any Plan through Executive's Date of Termination.

this Agreement is terminated (i) by Executive's death, (ii) voluntarily by Executive,
(iii) by Employer without Cause, or (iv) by mutual agreement of the parties,
then Employer shall pay Executive the Base Salary through the Date of
Termination, plus any amounts to which the Executive is entitled under any Plan
(in accordance with the terms of such Plan). 
Employer shall also pay any retirement benefits to which Executive is or
becomes entitled under any Plan, except to the extent any such benefits are
forfeited under the terms of such Plan.



             (c)         Except in the case of a termination
for Disability, if Employer terminates Executive's employment hereunder without
Cause, and if Executive executes a written release in a form acceptable to
Employer, then:



             (i)         Employer shall continue to pay any
amounts due to Executive for Base Salary in accordance with Section 3.1, at the
annual rate in effect thereunder immediately prior to the Date of Termination
(less any severance pay amounts due Executive under any written Plan generally
applicable to management employees of Employer), in the same manner as if
Executive had remained continuously employed, for a period of eleven (11)
months after the Date of Termination; provided, however, that if no such
release has been executed by Executive, Employer shall nevertheless pay any severance
pay that may be due under any such Plan in the absence of any such release; and



             (ii)         if Executive (or any individual
eligible for group health Plan benefits through Executive) is eligible under
the Plan or applicable law to continue participation in Employer's group health
Plan during such eleven (11) month period, and does elect to continue such
benefits, Employer shall continue to pay Employer's share of the cost of such
benefits, as if Executive remained continuously employed with Employer throughout
such eleven (11) month period, but only while Executive or such other
individual continues to pay the balance of such cost.



             Executive
shall not be required to mitigate Employer's payment obligations under this
Article 5, by making any efforts to secure other employment for which Executive
is reasonably qualified by education, experience or background; and Executive's
commencement of employment with another employer shall not reduce the
obligations of Employer pursuant to this Article 5.

such information includes trade secrets. 
Confidential Information includes, but is not limited to, information
relating to Employer's business plans and to its business as conducted or
anticipated to be conducted, and to its past or current or anticipated products
and services.  Confidential Information
also includes, without limitation, information concerning Employer's customer
lists or routes, pricing, purchasing, inventory, business methods, training manuals
or other materials developed for Employer's employee training, employee
compensation, research, development, accounting, marketing and selling.  All information that Executive has a
reasonable basis to consider as confidential shall be Confidential Information,
whether or not originated by Executive and without regard to the manner in
which Executive obtains access to this and any other proprietary information of
Employer.


             Executive shall not, during or
after the termination of Executive's employment under this Agreement, (a)
directly or indirectly use for Executive's own benefit; or (b) disclose any
Confidential Information to, or otherwise permit access to Confidential
Information by, any person or entity not employed by Employer or not authorized

consent of Employer.  Executive will use
reasonable and prudent care to safeguard and protect and prevent the
unauthorized use and disclosure of Confidential Information.  Furthermore, except in the usual course of
Executive's duties for Employer, Executive shall not at any time remove any
Confidential Information from the offices of Employer, record or copy any
Confidential Information or use for Executive's own benefit or disclose to any
person or entity directly or indirectly competing with Employer any
information, data or materials obtained from the files or customers of
Employer, whether or not such information, data or materials are Confidential
Information.


             Upon
any termination of Executive's employment, Executive shall collect and return
to Employer (or its authorized representative) all original copies and all
other copies of any Confidential Information acquired by Executive while
employed by Employer.


             The
obligations contained in this Section 7.1 will survive for as long  as Employer in its sole judgment considers
the information to be Confidential Information.  The obligations under this Section 7.1 will not apply to any
Confidential Information that is now or becomes generally available to the
public through no fault of Executive or to Executive's disclosure of any
Confidential Information required by law or judicial or administrative process.


             7.2         Non-Competition.  Executive agrees that, while employed by
Employer and for a period of eighteen (18) months following the date of
Executive's termination of employment for any reason, Executive shall not,
directly or indirectly, alone or as an officer, director, shareholder, partner,
member, employee or consultant of any other corporation or any partnership,
limited liability company, firm or other business entity:


             (a)         engage in, have any ownership
interest in, financial participation in, or become employed by, any business or
commercial activity in competition (i) with any part of Employer's business, as
conducted anywhere within the geographic area in which Employer has conducted
its business within the three (3) years before such date, or (ii) with any part
of Employer's contemplated business with respect to which Executive has
Confidential Information governed by Section 7.1.  For purposes of this paragraph, "ownership interest"
shall not include beneficial ownership of less than one percent (1%) of the
combined voting power of all issued and outstanding voting securities of a
publicly held corporation whose stock is traded on a major stock exchange or
quoted on NASDAQ;



             (b)         call upon, solicit or attempt to take
away any customers or accounts of Employer;



             (c)         solicit, induce or encourage any
supplier of goods or services to Employer to cease its business relationship
with Employer, or violate any term of any contract with Employer; or



             (d)         solicit, induce or encourage any
other employee of Employer to cease employment with Employer, or otherwise
violate any term of such employee's contract of employment with Employer.



             The
restrictions set forth in this Section 7.2 shall survive any termination of
this Agreement or other termination of Executive's employment with Employer,
and shall remain effective and enforceable for such 18-month period; provided,
however, that such period shall be automatically extended and shall remain in
full force for an additional period equal to any period in which Executive is
proven to have violated any such restriction.


             7.3         Protection of Reputation.
Executive shall, both during and after the termination of Executive's
employment under this Agreement, refrain from communicating to any person,
including without limitation any employee of Employer, any statements or
opinions that are negative in any way about Employer or any of its past,
present or future officials.  In return,
whenever Employer sends or receives any Notice of Termination of Executive's
employment under this Agreement, Employer shall advise the members of its
operating committee and executive committee (or any successors to such
committees), to refrain from negative communications about Executive to third
parties.


             7.4         Remedies.  The parties declare and agree that it is
impossible to accurately measure in money the damages that will accrue to
Employer by reason of Executive's 
failure to perform any of Executive's obligations under this Article 7;
and that any such breach will result in irreparable harm to Employer, for which
any remedy at law would be inadequate. 
Therefore, if Employer institutes any action or proceeding to enforce
the provisions of this Article 7, Executive hereby waives the claim or defense
that such party has an adequate remedy at law, Executive shall not assert in
any such action or proceeding the claim or defense that such party has an
adequate remedy at law, and Employer shall be entitled, in addition to all
other remedies or damages at law or in equity, to temporary and permanent
injunctions and orders to restrain any violations of this Article 7 by
Executive and all persons or entities acting for or with Executive.
