The Foto Hut was a photography store chain started in 1972 by Frank Sklar[1] (March 22, 1921 – December 1, 2009) in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
The chain eventually went out of business in 2003 because of competition with larger retail corporations such as Walmart and Target and because of the popularity of digital media.

The factory was located in an 1881 Victorian Renaissance building on East Carson Street in Pittsburgh.
