Costco is closing one of its departments for good. It has been reported that the in-store photo centers at all Costco locations will all be closing. In addition to printing photos, you will no longer be able to get passport photos, ink refills, photo restoration services, and the YesVideo Home Movie Transfer Service.
Costco will be closing the photo centers due to the decline in printing photos. Many people now use their phones for photos and don’t get photos printed at stores. Customers will still be able to print photos using the Costco Photo Center website.
