about us
our story
Est. 1986, London Square Mall
Our lab began as a modest Midwest photo lab in the local mall, back when film was the only way to make a photograph. Nearly four decades later, the same lab and team develop every roll sent to Film Developing Co. We launched in 2023 to give film photographers anywhere in the U.S. a simple way to mail us their film.
from small
We started as a small lab with a big dream, developing film in Eau Claire’s London Square Mall. Word spread about our processing and prints, and the support of our customers helped us grow out of the mall and into a standalone store of our own.
to regional
Over the next two decades, we built a lasting tradition of service in the Chippewa Valley, growing to three locations across the region. As photography shifted to digital, we brought everything back under one roof at our lab in Eau Claire. That focus is what made the next chapter possible.
and nationwide
As film came back, we built Film Developing Co as a home just for film. You order online, ship your rolls with a prepaid round-trip label, and get your scans by email. The lab, the team and the care are the same as ever.

At the heart of Film Developing Co are our core values – community-centricity, quality, and innovation. These principles guide us in everything we do, from delivering top-notch products and services to fostering a collaborative and customer-centric approach.

Nearly four decades after opening in the mall, we’re still in Eau Claire. Our lab at 3306 Mall Drive, Eau Claire, WI 54701 is where every roll mailed to Film Developing Co is developed and scanned. If you’ve ever sent us your film, this is where it came home.
