Linen King was founded by Kevin Jordan, L.K. McCullough, and Leonard McCullough. The concept was developed from an earnest desire to operate the best linen service in the southwest region, while at the same time serving the community by employing disabled workers. In 1997, Leonard and his wife Jennie decided to move "back home" to the Tulsa area and investigate building a business with Leonard's father, L.K. McCullough. At that time, L.K. was successfully operating a commercial laundry for a non-profit disabled workshop in Joplin, MO.

After working up a business plan, Leonard and L.K. approached Kevin Jordan, a local entrepreneur and philanthropist, about the possibility of forming a partnership. Kevin was captivated by the concept and they all three began work in 1998. By the spring of 1999, Linen King was formed and purchased its first laundry operation from the ServiceMaster Corporation in Sand Springs, Oklahoma. In a few short months and with a great deal of hard work, early mornings, and late nights, Linen King took the struggling ServiceMaster laundry and turned it into a staggering success.

Currently, Linen King is working with several organizations to develop commercial laundry facilities across the United States that will provide customers with unparalleled service while at the same time generating meaningful and integrated employment for disabled workers. Linen King desires to employ a fully integrated workforce from a variety of backgrounds. Kevin, L.K. and Leonard understand that truly great companies only succeed when their entire workforce is experiencing a better quality of life. Linen King is on the path towards establishing a new business standard as well as creating better opportunities for its employees.
