B&H Photo Video Coupons

B&H opened as a storefront film shop on the Lower East Side run by Herman Schreiber and his wife, Blimie (the store's name comes from their initials). The store quickly outgrew its space. B&H moved to a large loft on West 17th Street in the Photo District in the 1970s. Catering to the needs of neighborhood artists, B&H expanded to selling film equipment as well as photo products. In 1997 the store moved to its present location, a few blocks from Penn Station. It now has a staff of over 1,500 employees.[2] B&H's flagship store is located in West Midtown Manhattan at 420 Ninth Avenue (at the intersection with 34th Street). Its corporate offices including phone sales, advertising, and website operations are located on the next block, at 440 9th ave (between 34th and 35th st). On Tuesday October 30th, 2007, B&H officially opened a second floor above its original sales floor making a total of 70,000 sq ft (6,500 m2) of sales space. The first floor encompasses pro lighting, video, audio, darkroom, film, and both home and portable entertainment; the second floor focuses on both analog and digital cameras, printers, scanners, and related accessories, and includes an Event Space, located on the second floor of the superstore. The Event Space offers an assortment of educational seminars, instructional workshops, and lectures that are free to the public.
