Hi Darren - Close, but no Cigar. The camera store was Calandra's. When I worked there, it was a family owned regional chain. I don't remember how many stores they had, but it was at least 20.
Some of the stores were camera equipment only, others were combination Hallmark card and party goods and camera equipment. The combination sounds odd, but it made a lot of sense at the time. If you were either having or going to a party you would also want film and flashbulbs, etc. It worked well until the early '70s. They merged into Fox photo and a few years later they both fell off the radar.
