Went in to the large warehouse store here with a half dozen rolls of film as i have been doing for the last 20 years and the man behind the photo counter says they don't develop film anymore.  What a bummer.

I don't do color but B/W is easy to develop with minimum equipment or cost. Did you scan your negatives, if not then they would be a problem. I gave up on walmart, the only C-41 developer anywhere close to me several years ago. I do all color in dig

I used to go to a local chain drug store 5 minutes away.  I started noticing weird streaks in my film, no matter the camera.  Hmm.  Then I had a roll turn out completely blue; not just a cast but like a thick blue filter on it!  They apologized, compe

I feel for you, Mike.  Last week our local Sam's Club closed the photo department for remodeling, and when they reopened it was now a Digital Photo Center with no film developing...

Took some color film for my grandson to our local Walmart, now they no longer develop film. Have a drug store within walking distance but the only time I used them all the negatives had a pink cast. Used them again and they did a good job. The closest c
