Fujifilm Holdings (MM) (NASDAQ:FUJI)
Historical Stock Chart
From May 2019 to May 2024
Rite Aid Corporation (NYSE:RAD), the third largest U.S. drugstore chain
with more than 5,000 stores nationwide, and FUJIFILM U.S.A. Inc., a
market leader in providing complete retail photo imaging solutions,
today announced an all-inclusive imaging solutions agreement. Under the
terms, Fujifilm will provide a comprehensive range of photography
solutions, including online and in-store photofinishing services and
consumer photo products, to Rite Aid. The new services will be offered
to Rite Aid customers starting this summer.
With this new multi-year agreement, Rite Aid customers will enjoy a
significantly wider range of state-of-the-art photo products and
services through more convenient, easier-to-use technology.
Rite Aid Photo centers will operate using Fujifilm GetPix kiosk instant
print solutions and Fujifilm Frontier Dry Lab solutions. Fujifilm will
also be the exclusive supplier to Rite Aid for brilliant color film,
including a selection of convenient Fujifilm One Time Use Cameras,
Fujicolor Crystal Archive Paper and chemical supplies. Fujifilm will
also provide send-out photofinishing services by Fujicolor Processing,
including prints, photo books, greeting cards, enlargements and a wide
range of new heirloom-quality photo gift products, such as blankets,
ties and other items.
Rite Aid customers will have the added convenience of an easy-to-use
photo website from the comfort of their own homes, which will allow them
delivery of their purchases to any Rite Aid store across the country. So
if a customer orders traditional 4”x 6”
prints or a creative photo gift, relatives who live in another part of
the country can pick them up at their local Rite Aid without the added
cost of packing and shipping the items.
When customers choose to visit Rite Aid stores in person, they will be
able to use a kiosk display similar in design to the Web experience, but
with an additional convenience. Customers will be able to get their
prints made in minutes, on the same day or in a few days in most stores,
depending on the customer’s choice.
“We’re excited to be
able to provide our customers with the latest in photo technology,
products and services,” said Bryan Shirtliff,
Rite Aid senior vice president category management. “Fujifilm
offers the most complete photo solution for Rite Aid.”
“Our agreement sets the stage for creating a ‘Best
in Class’ photo solution for our more than
5,000 Rite Aid stores nationwide,” said John
Pollock, Rite Aid vice president category management. “Fujifilm
will be our partner and the end-to-end solution provider as we re-launch
our photo products business.”
“We are proud to be partnering with one of
the nation’s leading drug store chains. This
agreement is a testament to the confidence Rite Aid has in Fujifilm, and
our commitment to the photo retail business,”
said Bing Liem, vice president sales, Imaging Group, FUJIFILM U.S.A. “We
have a deep understanding of the needs of the retail photo market, and
look forward to continuing to innovate on the behalf of consumers, who
know they can rely on Fujifilm.”
