History

Established in 1955.

Calagaz Printing and Calagaz Photo & Digital Imaging, started as a photography supply business run from the garage of Frank and Bea Calagaz in 1949; and was incorporated in 1955, opening for business as Calagaz Photo Supply on Holcombe Avenue, in Mobile, Alabama.

The company is now being led by 2nd and 3rd generation family members: Frank Calagaz, Chairman of the Board; Leo Calagaz, President; Pauline Calagaz McKean, Vice President of our Photo Division; Joe Calagaz, Vice President of our Commercial Printing Division.

Currently, Calagaz employs 30 people between their two divisions. From the sales of glass plates in the very beginning, to the sales of photographic supplies and commercial printing, Calagaz has grown over the past 55 years from start up to a multi-​million dollar firm by continually delivering beyond our customers’ expectations.

Business Owner

Leo Calagaz grew up in the photo industry. His father, Frank Calagaz, senior opened the first location of Calagaz Photo in 1955 when Leo was the age of three. Since that time, Leo has worked in every aspect of the business and joined as a full-​time employee after graduation from Spring Hill College in 1974.

At that time, Leo’s duties were primarily sales & marketing. In 1982, he was trained by Noristu in the operation of 1-​Hour Labs, and in that year, Calagaz opened the first of NINE one-​hour labs! In the years to come, Leo’s duties expanded to handle all of the buying & advertising for all Calagaz locations.

Today, he has taken over as President, as Frank Calagaz, junior (Leo’s brother) has retired but still holds the position of Chairman of the Board.

Calagaz also runs a commercial print shop, known as Calagaz Printing. Leo’s nephew, Joe Calagaz, is the vice president of the printing division where Leo’s niece, Pauline McKean is the vice president of the photo division.

Went in to see the camera dept and ended up learning soooo much more about things that I can do with the photos I already have. Dig the new printing on metal. They have a beautiful store and the young lady who helped us was very knowledgable. When ever I’m in town Calagaz is on my to do list.

Calagaz is great! Staff and service have always been superb. They are always helpful and accommodating. (Can’t believe someone from California would even post that they are scammers. What a joke!) We are so fortunate to have such a honest business in are community.

With today’s society of digital media, it’s refreshing to see a full-​service camera and photo store still open. They have a really nice building, a bit hidden down a side street.
The staff was very knowledgeable and they even offer group training on cameras, as well as one one one training. Their prices aren’t really the best, but they make up for it with their fine service.

Calagaz has been in Mobile for ages, and really, they’ve outlasted all their competitors.
Now that I don’t get as many pictures printed and I don’t shoot as much film, I don’t go in as often, but any time I need a new piece of equipment, I try to call to see what they’ve got, and they ALWAYS work with me to make sure I get what I need.
I think their salespeople go out of their way to be nice, and they host some cool photography-​related events there, and have promotions periodically.
They also do commercial printing now, which I didn’t know before, so you can get your business cards or anything else printed there and support a local business instead of just ordering them online.

tried to rip e off for $ 50 dollars in over charges… had to drive 30 miles out of my way to get my money back… did not even get an apology out of these crooks… if you do businees with these thieves check your receipt

I called up Calagaz to order a new Nikon Camera. At first they were very friendly and eager to help. I spoke with a gentlemen in sales named Jason, who promised he would put aside a camera for me. He told me to go ahead and place my order via the website and he would take care of me. I then logged onto their site,
, and tried to place the order. Unfortunately, I couldn’t find the option to add the camera to the cart, and something seemed off. So, I called the shop back to speak with Jason. He said he would take care of it and call me back. A few minutes later he called me back and said he would get me a camera if I over nighted him a cashiers check. This seemed very odd. I suddenly realized I was being scammed. I told Jason this and he said, «yeah I need the cashiers check if you want the camera.» I didn’t understand and repeated that I was happy to pay with a credit card but Jason said he needed cash or a cashiers check or he wouldn’t help me. AVOID CALAGAZ. THEY ARE SCAMMERS WHO WILL TRY TO RIP YOU OFF!
