Snappy Snaps is a British photographic services franchise established in 1983 by Don Kennedy and Tim MacAndrews.[1]
As of March 2012[update] there are 120 Snappy Snaps franchise locations throughout the UK. Branches offer various services including one-hour film processing[2] and digital photo printing.[3]
The first Snappy Snaps one hour photo store opened in 1983. A further three trial stores were added during the following three years and, following the success of these stores, the first franchised Snappy Snaps store opened for business in 1987.[citation needed]
Snappy Snaps was also involved with the now-abandoned UK identity card scheme.[4]
The Snappy Snaps branch in Hampstead, London, featured in the news after the singer George Michael drove into the front of the building in the early hours of Sunday 4 July 2010 whilst under the influence of cannabis and prescription medication.[5][6]
