I am not sure how everyone else does it but I went to a outlet store that sells linen and bought abot 100 towels for 4 beds. It works great just have to do a load of towels a day. Maybe someonme else has a better idea.

You can never go wrong with Sams Club or Costco and you can really never have too many towels. You will want back-ups!!

I have not opened up yet but I bought 175 Ralph Lauren towels for 5 beds. I bought them from Home Outfitters in Canada, They gave me a really good deal because of the quantity, they were just over $3.00 a towel.

$3 a towel! Holy cow! That is expensive! I am looking at the dozen for $16!! I have more important things to spend money on than towels. You may want to research other avenues for your future towel purchases.

I found a place called hoteltowels.com and their towels are even cheaper than that click on imports and they are 7.50$ a dozen and even cheaper 6.99 $ a dozen if you order a large amount ....has anyone found a better deal than that?????

I buy my towels from, Industry source, when you catch them on sale, you can get a dozen for 7.99 or less. I just keep buying them when they go onsale, when I started I bought 72 towels, now you need to know how many clients you have a day and how often you are gonna do them. ON a average you need at least 180 towels a day..we do not reuse a towel even if the client does not use it. It goes in the hamper after it has been in room.

I buy mine from Costco, or Sams Club. Usually $1.00 a piece.

I bought towels from BSH Textiles. They assured me that they were quality towels that would last a couple of years. They were falling apart within a month. I have contacted them several times and sent back a couple of towels so that they could see the extensive damage. They have yet to return my calls or answer my letters. I assume they do not want my business. I would not recommend using this company!!!
