<p><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><a target="_self" href="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/407813279?profile=original"><img class="align-center" src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/407813279?profile=RESIZE_1024x1024" width="750"></a>Just as <i>Polaroid</i> pioneered instant photography over 75 years ago, <i>Polaroid</i> Fotobar is reinventing how consumers interact with our digital photos today. The fun, new experiential retail concept is opening three locations in the Los Angeles area. The first debuted just before the holidays at Westfield Culver City (6000 Sepulveda Blvd.). Customers will experience the instant gratification of printing their memories and bringing them to life to decorate their world.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">The new store, located in Center Court near Pinkberry and Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf, is open Monday through Saturday, 10 a.m. - 9 p.m. and Sunday, 11 a.m. - 7 p.m. Pictured left to right are store associates <span class="font-size-3" style="font-size: 11pt;">Victoria Maquinalez, Jaime Herrera, Ana Oquendo and Andrea Standifer.</span></span> <span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">A second Los Angeles-area store opened last month in Arcadia (Westfield Santa Anita). and a third will debut later this month in Canoga Park (Westfield Topanga).</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">The innovative 300-square-foot micro-stores are instantly recognizable by their cube shape and iconic <i>Polaroid Color Spectrum</i> logo. Customers are invited to take a seat at the Fotobar and transform their pictures instantly - from their smartphone, Facebook or Instagram - into three different size <i>Polaroid</i> pictures which can be collected in unique <i>Polaroid</i> shadowboxes or other <i>Polaroid</i> picture accessories. Professional and knowledgeable retail associates known as “Fototenders” are available onsite to help at every step of the way.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><b> </b></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">"Over one billion pictures are taken every day, and <i>Polaroid</i> Fotobar is a fun, easy way to take them from your Facebook timeline to your wall at home," said Warren Struhl, the company's founder and chief executive officer. “<i>Polaroid</i> Fotobar is all about recapturing the magic and instant gratification of creating cherished pieces of art with your pictures."</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><i>Polaroid</i> Fotobar has an extensive selection of custom frames, displays and unique photo products crafted from a variety of materials including canvas, acrylic, metal, glass and bamboo. In addition to a refurbished '80s classic like the <em>Polaroid</em> <i>600 Series OneStep</i> instant camera, one of the original box camera designs, <i>Polaroid</i> Fotobar also features the brand new <i>Polaroid Cube</i> lifestyle action camera for $99. Weatherproof, shockproof, mountable and built to handle everything you can imagine, the <i>Polaroid Cube</i> features a distinctive 35mm square,one-button design, a rugged, rubberized exterior, and built-in magnet allowing it to attach to bicycle handlebars, helmets and more.</span></p>
