Prior to 2015, Blacks was a brick and mortar retail chain focusing on photography equipment and processing since 1939. However, due to declining business in part to the rise of digital photography and camera phones, the chain closed on August 4, 2015. Blacks' domain and app assets were sold to Montreal-based Les Pros de la Photo, Canada's largest wholesale photofinisher, which has taken over and operates it as an online business.[2]
