Item 5.04     Temporary Suspension of Trading Under Registrant’s Employee Benefit Plans.


 The responsibilities for recordkeeping and administration of the Angelica Corporation Retirement Savings Plan (401(k)) is being transitioned to Fidelity Investments over the next few months, which triggers a requirement for a blackout period on transactions in the Company’s Common Stock. On November 8, 2006 Angelica Corporation (the “Registrant”) received the notice from Fidelity Investments with respect to the expected blackout periods as required by section 101(i)(2)(E) of the Employment Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. The investment blackout period during which participants will be unable to direct or diversify investments in the plan, obtain a loan from the plan, or obtain a distribution from the plan, is expected to extend from December 12, 2006 through January 31, 2007. During the blackout period, a director or executive officer may not, directly or indirectly, purchase, sell or otherwise acquire or transfer any of the Registrant’s Common Stock that the director or executive officer acquires or previously acquired in connection with his or her service or employment with the Registrant.
 
 Inquiries concerning the blackout period may be submitted to: Judith Dunwoodie, Director, Benefits and Compensation, Angelica Corporation, 1105 Lakewood Pkwy., Suite 210, Alpharetta, GA 30004, phone: (678) 823-4121.
