ABOUT US
OUR HISTORY
Veteran Kodak Executive Brad Eamon and Fuji Executive Alan Olsen founded Retail Imaging (RIMG) in 2000. They recognized that the on-site photo services industry was on the advent of profound change with digital photography rapidly encroaching on film-based analog technology. Retail Imaging offered a more focused, cost-effective approach to service that empowered the retailer to make their own choices by decoupling service from the other aspects that the OEM provided. On-site photo retailers could now select any equipment, software and supply manufacturer that best met their price and quality objectives, secure in the knowledge that Retail Imaging would provide the support.
Our first customer was Fred Meyer Inc., now a part of Kroger, headquartered in Portland, Oregon. We began support in 2000 and to this day still continue to deliver comprehensive program management, managed field services, supply logistics, technical call center and device repair services for their 130+ on-site photo centers.
In 2003 Costco selected us to be their photo kiosk manufacturer and to provide call center support. We proudly remain their photo kiosk and call center vendor today and have now expanded our call center services in other areas within Costco.
We have also enjoyed a ten-plus year relationship supporting the photo centers of both Rite Aid and Duane Reade with technical call center, device repair services, field services and customized manufacturing.
In 2008, we were selected by Sam's Club to provide a comprehensive service solution for all photo center devices in 320+ clubs nationwide; we proudly remain their service partner to this day.
From the beginning, Brad Eamon, who remains our Executive Chairman, understood that we had to be agile in order to stay ahead of the rapidly evolving technology while still delivering high quality, US-based support, all while taking a cost-effective approach that our clients expect. We are proud that the many great American retailers we support have been loyal customers now for so many years.
