RALEIGH — Did you see the blog from "love my boys" about her lengthy wait at the PictureMe Studios inside Walmart?
Well, I decided to reach out to Walmart Corporate to see if they had an answer or if they would join the conversation here on GOLO and offer an explanation.
Though they did not post on the blog itself, I was pleasantly surprised to receive a response: Here it is:
Good afternoon, Angela. Thanks for the e-mail. Obviously, the experience detailed on your site isn't one that meets our expectations. That said, the PictureMe Portrait studios are an independent business which leases space from Walmart in many of our stores (much like a McDonald's or Subway do from the convenience dining aspect of our store experience). Your inquiry would be better directed to PictureMe, which is a subsidiary of St. Louis-based CPI Corp. (cpicorp.com). I don't have any contact info for their press office and it wasn't readily available at their website, but I did find a name and number attached to one of their investor relations news releases: Jane Nelson, CPI Corp. +1-314-231-1575
Hope this helps!
Thanks!
Dan Fogleman, Sr. Manager, Media Relations
