Blacks Photo Corporation

However, due to declining business in part to the rise of digital photography and camera phones, the chain closed on August 4, 2015.

Blacks' domain and app assets were sold to Montreal-based Les Pros de la Photo, Canada's largest wholesale photofinisher, which has taken over and operates it as an online business.

The family owned firm became a public company in 1969 and was listed on Toronto Stock Exchange[citation needed] and later sold to Scott's Hospitality Inc in 1985.

[11] On June 14, 2015, Blacks announced that its online business (website and mobile app) had been acquired by Les Pros de la Photo, based in Montreal.
