/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Eastman Kodak Company (NYSE:EK) and
Duckwall-ALCO Stores, Inc. (NASDAQ:DUCK) today announced the
successful deployment of KODAK Picture Kiosks to more than 213
Duckwall-ALCO stores across the U.S. (approximately 80 percent of
Duckwall-ALCO stores nationwide). KODAK Picture Kiosks allow
Duckwall-ALCO to deliver a host of new digital printing and photo
processing services to its customers in small communities around
the country. In addition to conventional photo prints, KODAK
Picture Kiosks enable Duckwall-ALCO customers to quickly and easily
create unique photo solutions, such as KODAK Picture Movie DVDs,
KODAK Picture CDs, photo collages, calendars, invitations,
announcements, and greeting cards. Prior to installing the KODAK
Picture Kiosks, Duckwall-ALCO customers had limited choices for
photo finishing and photo creation services, and would often have
to drive to larger cities to take care of their photo printing and
processing needs. "KODAK Picture Kiosks represent the latest
service in a continuing effort to provide product and services for
everyday life in small town America," said Mike Crist, Director of
Business Development, Duckwall-ALCO Stores, Inc. "Introducing a
highly recognized brand like Kodak to our customers has been
overwhelmingly positive and has generated increased week-to-week
traffic at our photo centers." Duckwall-Alco has taken advantage of
Kodak's scalable suite of digital printing kiosks and has selected
specific equipment configurations to meet each store's volume and
available space requirements. Leveraging Kodak's award winning user
interface, the KODAK Picture Kiosk G4's lightning fast image
loading and processing speed reduces wait times, increases consumer
satisfaction and delivers stunning products that help consumers
share and relive their lives in new and exciting ways. "Kodak's
state-of-the-art photo order and processing technologies can be
scaled to meet a wide variety of retail environments, and we're
proud to see our KODAK Picture Kiosks driving success for a leading
small-market retailer like Duckwall-ALCO," said Mike Saturnia,
Director & Vice President of Sales, Eastman Kodak Company. "We
are proud to bring our digital printing capabilities and
experiences to a new set of consumers. Kodak is helping retailers
in markets of all sizes and locations inspire their customers to
create unique and memorable photo products." You will find a KODAK
