75 Foto Depots from the Future Group

Having created a niche with Depot, a retailer of books, music and gifts, the Kishore Biyani-promoted Future Group, has now turned to another retail concept, Foto Depot. The company has been piloting the photo retailing format, powered by Hewlett Packard's printing technology, at three stores in Mumbai since the last six months.They plan on opening 75 stores having an area of approximately 500 square feet each by June 2009 and would enter into a tie up with HP and would probably lease the printing equipment from the latter.
At Foto Depot, customers can get themselves clicked and get their pictures printed on a variety of fun surfaces and products like T-shirts, wallpapers, mugs, collages etc in just 10 minutes.
They can walk into Foto Depot with any source of image such as camera phone, digital camera, memory card, USB pen drives, negatives and CDs, download the images on the touchscreen kiosks placed at the stores and walk away with an output of the image on the medium of their choice.
