Calumet Photographic Is Coming Back
Photo by Chicago Now
Back in March we posted about Calumet Photographic's abrupt closing and filing of Chapter 7 bankruptcy and thought we witnessed the end of the popular business. The company decided to shut down all of its stores in the US, leaving many customers and employees shocked without jobs and unfulfilled orders. Now, it looks like Calumet will be making a comeback with C&A Marketing recently buying all of the company's US assets. The information is still relatively new and no one knows exactly what the future will hold for Calumet and what C&A Marketing's plan is going forward. As of right now, it is known that some of the locations may open back up, but unfortunately not all of them will. The Calumet website will be back up and running again, but no word as to when it will be reactivated. It will be interesting to see what the future will hold for the company. We'll see if it will be able to bounce back after leaving many people with a sour taste in their mouth.

Calumet Photographic abruptly shuts down, files Chapter 7
Calumet Photographic's tag line reads "Where the pros go," and now it seems that only the photography pros in Europe will still continue to be able to visit their stores. In a rather shocking move, Calumet Photographic has shut down all of its American stores and has filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy. What's even more shocking is that as of right now, there is no official statement from the company but rather a short statement on their Facebook page. By reading some of the comments on the Facebook post, it also seems like some of their employees had no word of the impending shutdown and now remain jobless.
