What customers wrote in our store survey
“I went to your Fairfield store to print some photos from my SD card.”
“… I came in to buy a camera and I really appreciated that my sales associate was patient with me as I tried it. Gave me an SD card to review the pictures on the back LCD and everything. … The associate was nearby but I never felt like he was hovering, and was responsive when I asked questions. I felt like I could take my time to make the right decision. …”
“It was exciting to visit the store for the first time and seeing many of the things I haven't seen in over 20 years such as multiple types of film and dark room products. I dropped off my first roll of film taken with a camera from the 90s. …”
