Walgreens Launches New Digital Media Recovery Service at Stores Nationwide

Walgreens (NYSE, NASDAQ: WAG) customers now have a convenient, affordable way to recover deleted or corrupted digital photos thought to be gone forever. The new Media Recovery Service now available at more than 7,500 Walgreens Photo Centers nationwide offers customers professional retrieval of lost images and other files from memory cards or USB drives.

With more consumers than ever storing and sharing photos digitally, treasured memories can be left vulnerable to mishaps such as a defective or damaged camera, accidental deletion, memory card or USB drive corruption, accidental formatting or file transfer errors. Though these situations can render images inaccessible, in many cases files are actually still retrievable from fixed memory space on the storage media.

"Sooner or later every digital camera user has the misfortune of losing a photo, and I know from experience this can be heartbreaking,” said Mona Kelly, Walgreens general merchandise manager of photo and front-end services. "As a trusted go-to provider of convenient, high-quality photo services in thousands of communities, we’re pleased to offer a solution that can help customers get back their cherished photos and along with them their peace of mind.”

Walgreens Media Recovery Service, provided by award-winning data retrieval specialist FlashFixers, supports recovery of standard image formats and camera RAW files, as well as most sound, video, office and graphics files. Recovery prices are based on media size and begin at $39.99. The recovered files are saved to a CD or DVD for customer pick-up at Walgreens. The customer’s card or drive is returned and there is no charge if the recovery is not successful.

Walgreens Media Recovery Service is the first digital photo recovery service of its kind available at retail drugstores nationwide. Previously, the only options for customers with lost digital photos were do-it-yourself recovery software or expensive and unknown mail-in recovery services.

From creating prints to photo gifts, retrieving images and more, Walgreens Photo Centers are committed to delivering top-quality products and services. To learn more about the wide range of Walgreens photo services and products visit Walgreens.com/photo.
