Camera Wholesalers keeps 44-year run going in new location

For more than 40 years Camera Wholesalers of Stamford has been a hub for shutterbugs. That tradition will continue, as it has since 1971, with the camera shop”™s third relocation in its history ”“ all within Stamford ”“ this time to back to its roots on Summer Street.

According to a statement by the company, the move to its new location reflects Camera Wholesalers”™ commitment to the Fairfield County community by establishing a fresh brick and mortar presence.

The new location will be inside the Crowne Plaza Stamford Hotel complex at 2701 Summer Street, the site of the original store in 1971. According to the company it will be a newly designed store with an expanded showroom with additional space for its photo lab, a larger education area for individual and group photo classes and increased short-term parking outside the shop as well as access to the hotel”™s 1,200 space parking lot.

The store will also be offering special thanks to the community, which has kept it in business while other competitors have fallen to the rapid changes in photographic technology.

“We’re offering deep discounts, which we’ve frankly never offered in the past.” said Fred Bonilla, the store’s photo instructor. “It”™s our way of thanking the community for their support during the more than four decades that we’ve served the Stamford community. We hope to continue doing so from our beautiful new location.”

Camera Wholesalers is the only full-service photography store in Stamford and one of just a few in the county.

Their one-hour photo lab, which originally only catered to film, is now a state of the art digital photo lab for both film and digital images.
