Ritz Camera closing

Didn't even realize they had a store in Columbus, I usually shop with them online. Is the store big? Evidently the store on Lane will be one of those closing, might be some good deals?

Yep...it was announced back in Feb.

They are the country's largest chain. They bought up a couple others, Wolf I believe. However, they got killed due to Circuit City like service and pricing....welll....gear is no longer the money maker due to online sales even by larger and better retailers like B&H and Adorama, etc....

 

I know the Cord stores very well and their days are numbered too. Right now they are being killed by the credit limits being offered to them. That's why they have near zero stock. Even print carts are lower than they ever should be. It's gotta be killing them to have stock for nearly 46+ stores so low.

Yeah this is the first I had seen the closing list.

Ever been to the Lane Ave store? Size/selection decent?

once after they first opened. no input on what it's like today. they had the pearl paper I needed and cord didn't so I walked out with that is all. I buy most stuff through the B&H or Adorama.
