Jessops
Jessops were formed in Leicester in 1935 by Frank Jessop.
They were the largest specialist supplier of photographic equipment in the UK.
At their peak Jessops has 335 stores. In 2007 the company suffered financial crisis, due to increased competition from supermarkets and internet retailers, and had to close 81 stores. By January 2013 Jessops went into administration, closing all 187 stores.
In March 2013 well known entrepreneur Peter Jones took over Jessops and reopened 30 of the stores.
