It's good you shop local, it's sad that not enough people did to support the market (the Ritz debacle BTW is how Nikon ended up at their tightly controlled price policy. they recognized the impact the low margins had and took steps to help resolve it - and don't they own a chunk of the revived chain?)
They used to carry Nikon and some Canon. They have re-aligned that past couple of years. The quit the camera stuff. They make prints off of digital and do framing. They also develop c41 film in house including 120. That is mainly what I do there is have c41 processed.
About 6 months ago they started sell Sony stuff. They have been in business since the 1920s. They had to adapt or go under.
I don't know about Nikon's relationship with Ritz/Wolf. They are no longer here. However, I can't imagine Nikon liking niche players showing up to play in their sandbox.
