The new service, unparalleled by any other retailer, allows customers to upload digital photos at http://www.walmart.com or http://www.samsclub.com, edit, share and order images online, and pick up photo prints within one hour at a local Wal-Mart Store, Supercenter, Neighborhood Market, or SAM'S CLUB location with a One-Hour Photo Center - approximately 3,000 nationwide locations by year end. Wal-Mart and SAM'S CLUB's Photo Center online software has been updated to provide customers with improved Web site features, ease of use, and speed.

"Today marks a giant leap in an industry that is constantly evolving," said Dave Rogers, vice president, Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. "We are taking our one-hour photo service to a whole new level by making this technology available nationwide through our Web sites and the One-Hour Photo Centers in our stores and clubs. We believe it will revolutionize the way our customers process digital photo prints."

The base price will remain the same for digital prints ordered in One-Hour Photo Centers Wal-Mart or SAM'S CLUB locations. Each 4x6 print costs $0.24 at all Wal-Mart Stores, Supercenters, and Neighborhood Markets with Photo Centers, and $0.18 at all SAM'S CLUB locations with Photo Centers.
