Check out these Former Fotomat photos and a quick article about Drive-Through Kiosk Looks For New Business.

Once upon a time, Fotomat was a widespread suburban phenomenon in the United States. With over 4,000 drive-through photo kiosks mainly located at parking lots nearby supermarkets or strip malls, their appearance characterizes the suburban spirit of the mid-eighties. Most of these remarkable Fotomat kiosks have been abandoned since the service provided by the company is not really up-to-date any more. As a result, the company quit its activities.
