The Campaign FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions:
What are the funds going to be used for?
The funds raised will go directly toward expanding our current lab setup. We are planning to add a used Noritsu LS-600 film scanner, which costs approximately $5,000, as well as an additional JOBO film processor, which is roughly $3,200. These additions will allow us to process more film, reduce turnaround times, and continue offering affordable services.
Are you planning to expand to additional locations?
Yes, that is part of our long-term plan. However, our priority is making sure our first location is fully equipped, efficient, and sustainable before expanding into new spaces.
When you say “family-owned,” what does that mean?
We truly mean family-owned. Lakeland Film Lab is run by a husband, wife, and sister—no outside investors, no corporate backing. Everything we’ve built has been done together, as a family.
Will this help you expand your team?
Absolutely. Right now, my wife and I are working an average of 16-hour days to ensure there are no delays in anyone’s orders. Adding equipment and support will allow us to bring on help, improve workflow, and continue delivering the quality and care our customers expect.
