Here is Camera & Camera, my preferred store in Auckland. This what they sell: https://www.camera-camera.com/

And here is what they sell it in: http://tinyurl.com/ku9es8f

Physically they are not large but judging by what they do, they are quite a big store. At least they feel that way to me.

Sandman
I'm not sure what I should do with this information.

Eric Stevens
It might help you give a reference point when people use words like, large, small, tiny, microscopic etc.

Tony Cooper
I'm quite interested in what Jonas considers to be a "big" store. B&H is a 70,000 square foot store.

Sandman
The camera section isn't. You know, the section we're talking about. I didn't include the model train section in the size of the Colonial either, since it is of no interest to a camera store size discussion.

Tony Cooper
Something like 5,000 people a day shop at B&H. How would you fit them in a "tiny" store.

Sandman
I'm sure the camera section of B&H actually is significantly larger than colonial, when comparing area, but smaller when it comes to actual photorelated merchandise.

Savageduck
You can't possibly be serious, unless you were in Bob & Harry's photo store. You don't sound as if you actually visited B&H Photo Video.

I had to go to Google Groups to read this discussion and make sure I knew what was being said because the pieces I was seeing made so little sense.

Tony, Sandman, there is a strip mall called "The Loop" in Kissimee. It does not appear to have anything associated with B&H Photo, however nearby there _is_ a BJ's Wholesale Club which seems to be a likely suspect.

Sandman, B&H is in New York, it is not a chain or franchise, it does not have outlets in strip malls. It does not have a "camera section". Photo equipment and supplies are _all_ that B&H has on display in their store except for a small display of A/V and recording equipment.
