Bummer. I do all of my photos there. The best I've found.

In truth, I hardly ever have a print made, yet I'm bummed out!

Looks like we will have to rely on the few remaining photo labs. Sam's Club did the same about a year ago.

My local Costco closed their photo department two years ago. Funny thing was that they were always busy.

At mine they were the third most in profit behind wine and meat.

I was a supplier for them. Just found out an hour ago. They say they will cover my existing stock at cost, but I may be out of business.

Echos of 2020 ricocheting around yet.
