Following the success of its photo service, Priority Dry Cleaners is moving the business foward by investing £30 000 in installing mini-lab equipment at its main Plymouth branch.

The service started two years ago, when the business opened a drycleaning reception point at Ridgeway, Plympton and took on the agency for a film lab.

The photo service was intended as a sideline but has now become part of the core business, so owner Mark Prior decided to not only offer the service in Plymouth, but to do his own processing as well.

Mr Prior has now installed a Noritsu 1501 paper processor and 430L negative processor at the Eastlake St, Plymouth branch and will use the equipment to offer a full photo service to customers at both shops.
