Picture Perfect | Photo Central Customer Profile

November 27, 2019

Photo Central has been serving Winnipeg's photographers since 1975. Originally named Independent Photo Centre, the store was managed by Dick Toews who eventually took over as owner in 1991 and gave the business its current name. Continuing to grow and adapt, Photo Central has seen many changes over the years with the massive shift to digital products it now offers. In 2008 Photo Central was purchased by Dick’s son Andrew who has continued to ensure the store flourisheamongst a rapidly changing marketplace, while ensuring a great experience that begins in-store and lasts as you continue your photographic journey with your new equipment at your side. 

 

Along with its strong online presence, Photo Central recognizes the continuing value of their brick and mortar operation. With massive traffic counts on their Portage Avenue location here in Winnipeg, the value of effective signage was not to be taken lightly. In the Fall of 2019, Photo Central took on a fresh coat of paint and greatly increased its presence and visibility with a new logo and LED signage, custom manufactured by the Electra Sign team. Our LED technology ensures that the signs are bright enough to engage traffic and further create awareness for their brand.  

Drop by and explore the commitment to ideals that Andrew and his team have to offer; from traditional to the latest technology in photography, accessories, and training. Once you enter the store, expect to stay awhile and learn why Photo Central has a history in Winnipeg.

Oma’s Bake Shop Orders In Fresh-Made Signage

October 22, 2019

Since 1976, beloved Winnipeg business Oma’s Bake Shop has been mixing the finest ingredients into their baked goods. In 2018, Quinn McMurray decided that with the previous owner about to retire – it was her turn to bring home the dough! 

Not long after, Quinn reached out to Electra Sign and asked us to create a custom LED sign that would showcase her bakeshop in the best light. Both our and Oma’s focus on quality without cutting corners made for a natural partnership, and we were happy to provide them with one of our brand-new innovative edge-lit letter sets. This striking and elegant signage option both radiates light directly as well as bounces it off the wall, crafting a warm welcome that helps beckon patrons inside to enjoy the delicious flavours hand-prepared by her and her team.  

But don’t take our word for it. With a wide selection of everchanging recipes as well as traditional classics, drop by for a taste that you’ll not soon forget. The name ‘Oma’ says it all, as they are baking just like grandma used to. And if you can’t get there today, head over to their website and have a look around.
