It was not for sale in Walgreens and the kid working there had no idea. The only markings in the jig were as I mentioned. I have an email in to Snap2Canvas and I have their phone number which I’ll try later today. Coolhanduke thanks for the offer to check with your friend!

Every reference I could find, including images, leads back to Walgreens.
Even a post on Reddit asking how to fix one had Walgreens showing on the page.

It's a little difficult to be sure from the photo, but those look sort of like adjustable picture frame jigs, which should work just as well for canvas stretchers as they do for picture frames. They might be used to hold the canvas in place temporarily too, I suppose, while it's being attached to the stretchers.
Googling for "adjustable picture frame jig" and "framing jig" I found both homemade designs and ready-made products. Some look a lot like those in the original poster's image, but there are other designs that appear to do something similar.
Here are some of the links I found:

Tried to check them out. Every link I found said going out of business ... in 2017. ???

Seriously! Do you think I’m an idiot? I exhausted every search term I could think of and then turned to the hogs to see if it sparked something from the group.

I googled "snap2canvas hangers" and the web site came up on top.

As I understand it this is not a product but a service...like having a print made somewhere. It is currently licensed to Walgreens. You can either on line or at the store pick a size, upload a photo and they make you a canvas of it to hang. I do not believe that they sell the technology or equipment retail.

You can assess that yourself but there are tons on google.

Finding a Ford in the want ads doesn't do much good when you are looking for a Chevy. It doesn't matter if there are tons of them.

Actually there are tons of “canvas stretchers” on the internet and searching for that does produce a ton of links. But the item in the photo is a tool or jig for actually doing the work. That’s what I’m looking for and it is nowhere to be found.
I think they were made especially for Walgreens and the company may be out of business.
I guess I set up your response with my opening question.
