Color Labs founder credits growth to value and service
Fitzgerald touts Color Labs growth of 485 percent in two years citing service, quality, and low prices as keys. He says the recession proof nature of camera processing helps despite tough 1973 financing. He found a bank willing to invest and plans further expansion, including a possible new outlet.
