Rite Aid Corp., Camp Hill, Pa., the third largest U.S. drugstore chain, and Fujifilm U.S.A. Inc., Valhalla, N.Y., 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 at its more than 5,000 stores will enjoy a significantly wider range of photo products and services through more convenient, easier-to-use technology, say the companies. 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 color film, including a selection of 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 range of new photo gift products, such as blankets, ties, and other items.

  Rite Aid customers will also be able to use a website from their own homes, which will allow them delivery of their photo purchases to any Rite Aid store across the country. When customers choose to visit Rite Aid stores in person, they can use a kiosk display similar in design to the Web experience. 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.
