[QUOTE="Don Kuykendall_RIP, post: 128079, member: 6277"] I managed over 100 one hour labs at one time. Went form that to owning 2 large one hour labs / camera stores. This was a number of years ago and I saw the light then and sold out. I did go to work for the largest one hour chain in the nation at that time. They had over 750 locations. They started dropping like flies and I left there before they crashed. I don;'t think there are any major players in the game at all anymore. WalMart, and the drug stores still have labs but for the most part they are doing prints from digital. They still offer film but I really wonder how they can keep quality up at all. Most of these machines require volume to maintain quality. Film processing and printing is expensive to get into and expensive to keep up. Wouldn't touch it with a ten foot pole now. Made a fortune on it in the day though. [/QUOTE]
