As of March 2012[update] there were 120 Snappy Snaps franchise locations throughout the UK; As of December 2023[update], there are 115 franchise and 9 company-owned stores.[2] Branches offer various services including one-hour film processing[3] and digital photo printing.[4]
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]
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.[6] Following Michael's death on Christmas Day 2016, the shop became the site of a "shrine" to the late singer, with fans leaving flowers, cards, messages and toys outside the shop front, much to the annoyance of the store management.[7]
