Ritz Camera is in the process of moving into its new home next to the CVS on Arlington Road.
Is a VCR-TO-DVD conversion machine (see photo below) an appropriate symbol of the anachronism photo stores have become?
With a sizeable population of senior citizens, there may yet be a niche market for photo printing and other services Ritz provides in Bethesda.
Ironically, I do most of my photo developing at CVS next door :)
ReplyDeleteIt's kind of like Blockbuster - what was once the function of an entire store is now in a kiosk, or even in a pocket smartphone.
Deletethey also sell cameras
ReplyDeleteFor most people, they're already carrying the only camera they need: their iPhone. So a camera shop is very niche in 2013.
