 PROFILE
No sheep's clothing here. Wolf Camera, the #2 photo specialty store (behind Ritz Camera), wants to wear the mantle of success. Wolf offers one-hour photo developing in nearly 550 stores in more than 20 states. The company sells cameras for amateurs and professionals, as well as lenses, flashes, film, and accessories, such as camera bags and tripods. It also offers video cameras. Digital imaging services include alteration and restoration, scanning, and printing. Wolf Camera, which has struggled to digest its 1998 acquisition of the 450-store Fox Photo chain, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in June 2001. CEO Chuck Wolf owns Wolf Camera, which he founded in 1974. Wolf's cousin David Ritz owns rival Ritz Camera.
