                              PART I
                              ------

ITEM 1.  BUSINESS
-----------------

GENERAL DEVELOPMENT OF BUSINESS

Angelica Corporation (the "Company") and its subsidiaries provide
products and services to a wide variety of institutions and individuals,
which are in primarily three markets: health services, hospitality and
other service industries.  The Company was founded in 1878 and was
incorporated as Angelica Corporation in 1968.

The Company's businesses are reported in three industry segments:
Textile Services, Manufacturing and Marketing and Retail Sales.
Information about the Company's industry segments appears on page 29 of
the Company's Annual Report to Shareholders for the year ended January
29, 2000 (hereinafter "Annual Report") and is incorporated herein by
reference.  This information includes for each segment sales and textile
service revenues, earnings, identifiable assets, depreciation and
capital additions for each of the five years in the period ended January
29, 2000.

TEXTILE SERVICES
----------------

As of January 29, 2000 this segment had 27 laundry plants generally in
or near various major metropolitan areas in the United States
principally providing textile rental and laundry services for health
care institutions.  (One of these laundries closed in March, 2000.) This
segment also provides a limited amount of general linen services in
selected areas, principally to hotels, motels and restaurants.

The markets in which the Textile Services segment operates are very
competitive, being characterized generally by a large number of
independent, privately-owned competitors.  Industry statistics are not
available, but the Company believes that its Textile Services segment
constitutes the largest supplier of textile rental and laundry services
to health care institutions in the United States. Competition is on the
basis of quality, reliability and price.

MANUFACTURING AND MARKETING
---------------------------

The Company's Manufacturing and Marketing operations consist of
Angelica Image Apparel in the United States and two smaller


                                -1-

<PAGE>
<PAGE>

operations in Canada, collectively engaged in the manufacture and sale
of uniforms and business career apparel for a wide variety of
institutions and businesses. The raw materials used by Angelica Image
Apparel in the conduct of its business consist principally of textile
piece goods, thread, and trimmings, such as buttons, zippers and labels.
The Company purchases piece goods from most major United States
manufacturers of textile products and from some non-domestic suppliers.
During the last two years, the Company has closed a number of its
domestic manufacturing plants and has been sourcing more of its image
apparel from domestic and foreign contractors and other foreign
suppliers.  At the end of fiscal 2000, production releases to foreign
suppliers accounted for approximately 50% of all production releases of
this segment's products, up from approximately 10% two years ago.

The Manufacturing and Marketing operations compete with more than four
dozen largely privately-owned firms, including divisions of larger
corporations, in the United States and Canada.  Competition is also
provided by local firms in most major metropolitan areas.  The nature
and degree of competition varies with the customer and market where it
occurs.  Industry statistics are not available, but the Company believes
that it is one of the leading suppliers of garments to hospitals, gaming
establishments, hotels and motels, food service establishments, and
textile service suppliers in the United States. Competition is extensive
and is based on many factors, including design, quality, consistency of
product, delivery, price and distribution.

The Manufacturing and Marketing segment is a supplier of image apparel
to the Textile Services and the Retail Sales segments, and those
segments are Manufacturing and Marketing's two largest customers.

RETAIL SALES
------------

The Retail Sales segment is a specialty retailer offering uniforms and
shoes primarily for nurses and other health care professionals through a
nationwide chain of retail stores under the name of Life Uniform and
Shoe Shops, located primarily in malls and strip shopping centers and to
a limited extent inside hospitals.

The Company believes there are approximately 2,000 specialty retail
stores in the U.S., primarily privately-owned, offering merchandise


                                -2-

<PAGE>
<PAGE>

comparable to that offered by the Company's Retail Sales segment. In
addition, such merchandise is also offered by others, including some
large chain apparel retailers.  Retail operations are conducted under
highly competitive conditions in the local area where each of the
Company's stores is located, with competition being on the basis of
store location, merchandise selection and value.  Industry statistics
are not available, but the Company believes its Retail Sales segment is
the nation's largest specialty retailer offering uniforms and shoes to
nurses and other health care professionals.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
----------------------

The Company does not hold any material patents, licenses, franchises or
concessions.  It does not consider its business to be seasonal to any
significant extent. The Manufacturing and Marketing business is
characterized by high working capital requirements in the form of
inventories required to satisfy the prompt delivery requirements of its
customers.  Otherwise, the Company has no unusual working capital
requirements.  No segment of the Company's business is dependent on a
single or a few non-affiliated customer or customers.

Since the bulk of the Company's sales are to institutional users which
buy on a regular recurring basis, the Company's backlog of orders at any
given time consists principally of firm orders in the process of being
filled and is not considered significant to the Company's business.  No
portion of the Company's business is subject to renegotiation of
profits.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
------------------------

Angelica Image Apparel carries on research, development and testing
programs both internally and in cooperation with independent
laboratories and research institutions, and works with suppliers to
develop specialized fabrics to improve performance and to meet specific
technological requirements.  The dollar amount spent is not significant.

ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS
----------------------------

The Company does not expect any material expenditures will be required
in order to comply with any Federal, state or local environmental
regulations.


                                -3-

EMPLOYEES
---------

The Company employs approximately 8,100 persons (including approximately
800 part-time employees).

FINANCIAL INFORMATION ABOUT FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC OPERATIONS AND EXPORT
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SALES
-----

Sales of foreign operations and export sales were not significant. The
Company has no one major customer.

ITEM 2.  PROPERTIES
-------------------

A substantial portion of the real estate utilized by the Company is
leased. Real estate which is owned by the Company is approximately 44%
of the net book value of all fixed assets.  There is no individual
parcel of real estate owned or leased which is of material significance
to the Company's total assets. No difficulty in renewing leases which
expire in the near future is anticipated by the Company. In the opinion
of the Company, all such facilities are maintained in good condition and
are adequate and suitable for the purposes for which they are used.

As of January 29, 2000, 27 laundries, both owned and leased, (including
one which has now been closed) plus warehouse facilities located in 12
states were used in the Textile Services segment. Laundry facilities
generally are not fully utilized, although some of them operate on a
multi-shift basis.  The Company estimates that, assuming the
availability of labor, output of these facilities could be increased by
20 percent with existing equipment by working longer hours and by an
additional 25 percent (for a total of 45 percent) by working longer
hours plus installation of additional equipment.

The Company's real estate, both owned and leased, which is used in its
Manufacturing and Marketing segment, at January 29, 2000 was comprised
of six manufacturing plants in the United States (one of which is
scheduled to be closed in May, 2000), and one plant in Costa Rica, plus
appropriate warehouses and sales facilities in the United States and
Canada. The manufacturing facilities are generally fully utilized and
operate generally on a one-shift basis.


                                -4-

<PAGE>
<PAGE>

As of January 29, 2000 there were 296 retail specialty stores, located
in 36 states, used in the Retail Sales segment. All retail store
premises are leased.

ITEM 3.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
--------------------------

The Company is not a party, and none of its property is subject, to any
material pending legal proceeding other than ordinary routine litigation
incidental to the business.  Management believes that liabilities, if
any, resulting from pending routine litigation in the ordinary course of
the Company's business should not materially affect the financial
condition or results of operations of the Company.

ITEM 4.  SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS
----------------------------------------------------------

No matters were submitted to a vote of shareholders during the fourth
quarter of the Company's year ended January 29, 2000.

To Angelica Corporation:

We have audited in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards, the consolidated financial statements included in the Annual
Report to Shareholders of Angelica Corporation and subsidiaries
incorporated by reference in this Form 10-K, and have issued our report
thereon dated March 14, 2000.  Our audit was made for the purpose of
forming an opinion on those statements taken as a whole.  The schedule
listed in Item 14(a)2(ii) and appearing on page 15 is the responsibility
of the Corporation's management and is presented for purposes of
complying with the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and is not
part of the basic consolidated financial statements.  This schedule has
been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the
basic consolidated financial statements and, in our opinion, fairly
states in all material respects the financial data required to be set
forth therein in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements
taken as a whole.
