Pixi Fotos placed in administration

[lady*em]

Pixi Fotos have gone broke. Placed in administration with the loss of 300 jobs. Kiosks in Myer, Kmart and Target were closed today.

Shame for anyone who has paid for photos or has a gift voucher.

End of an era. They've been around since 1971. Another business lost.

I feel for the workers who have lost their jobs. Also the parents who may not get their photos or can't use gift vouchers.

So many options now with digital cameras for people to take their own photos.. these can be printed in big sizes at photo places and printed on canvas etc.

Personally, I never found Pixi photos to be that good.

Their photos were not the best, especially in the last few years.

It's such a shame for all the staff, but with today's technology they're pretty much redundant now

Yes, it is a shame for the staff.  On the bright side, however, there are hundreds of young mums advertising photo sessions on facebook at any one time. It's just changing times and redundant business models.

I think they failed to move with the times.
