    CPI gets the picture.

The firm operates about 1,000 Sears Portrait Studios (SPS) in Sears and Sears Grand outlets. CPI's 2007 purchase of rival Portrait Corporation of America (PCA) brought 2,000-plus photo studios under the PictureMe Portrait Studio (PMPS) name inside Wal-Mart stores throughout North America and Mexico into the picture. All of the company's studios, with the exception of some locations in Canada, use digital imaging technology and offer a choice of poses and print sizes, as well as photo accessories. To read the full description, subscribe now.

    Competition

    Competitive Landscape for CPI Corp.
    Demand depends on consumer income. Profitability of individual companies is linked to marketing, and, for photofinishers, efficiency of operations. Large companies can have economies of scale in purchasing and operations. Small companies can compete successfully by offering superior service. The industry is fairly labor-intensive: annual revenue per employee is about $100,000. Major competitors are big-box retailers, like Wal-Mart and Target, and electronic superstores, such as Best Buy. Photo kiosks and mini-labs are also found in many major drugstore chains. Digital photography has had a major impact on the industry. To read the full description, subscribe now.
