Unique Photo Announces Expansion and Grand Opening of New Location in Hoboken, New Jersey
Fairfield and Hoboken, N.J. (PRWEB) May 17, 2016 -- Unique Photo, New Jersey’s largest retail camera store and center for photography education, announces the Grand Opening Celebration of its new store in Hoboken on June 2. The new location at 79 Hudson Street at the Hudson Crossroads, directly across from the Hoboken Path Station, is situated just steps away from Unique Photo’s original retail camera store in New Jersey which opened its doors on the same day in 1954.
“Hoboken is a vibrant location and we’re excited to be opening our new satellite store in the same place where my grandparents opened their first retail location in 1954,” said President Alexander Sweetwood, third-generation member of the Sweetwood family to head the Fairfield, NJ-based retail camera store. “Now our customers will have even more convenience and accessibility to the latest camera technology, education and services that have made our store the ultimate destination for amateur and professional photographers alike.”
The new 1,200-square-foot location will feature all of the extensive photography services and educational programs that have made Unique Photo one of the leading photographic retailers and distributors in the United States. In addition to a full catalog of rental equipment, the store will offer group educational classes and workshops, one-on-one training, printing and photo restoration services, equipment buy-back programs and repair services.
Ideally located near the PATH train station and the Hudson River waterfront, customers can also look forward to special off-site photo excursions such as walking photo tours of historic Hoboken, the Statue of Liberty and New York City skyscapes.
The June 2 Grand Opening Celebration will feature in-store specials, demonstrations and sales on equipment, rentals and classes. The store is currently open and offering soft opening services such as rentals, trade-ins and personal one-on-one training sessions. Hoboken store hours are Monday – Friday, 8 a.m. – 7 p.m.; Saturday – Sunday, 10 a.m. – 5 p.m.
Unique Photo began when Bernard and Harriet Sweetwood opened a small photographic supply outlet in Brooklyn, NY in 1947. They opened over 20 retail outlets in department stores across New Jersey and then opened their first independent retail location in New Jersey, Hoboken Camera Center, in 1954.
“Returning to Hoboken and our roots really proves that ‘you can go home again,’ and it’s a symbol of success,” said Sweetwood.
Unique Photo is also home to the Unique® Photo Expo, New Jersey’s largest photography public trade show, coming on June 24 – 26 at the Unique Photo Superstore in Fairfield, NJ. Consumers can demo and purchase the latest products from leading manufactures and take advantage of great sales and over 40 free photography workshops.
