Ritz Camera Centers, Inc. is a Beltsville, Maryland-based specialty photographic retailer and the largest camera store chain in the United States, operating approximately 800 locations nationwide under the Ritz Camera, Wolf Camera, and The Camera Shop banners. Founded in 1918 by Benjamin Ritz as a portrait studio in Atlantic City, New Jersey, the privately held, family-controlled company expanded through acquisitions — including Wolf Camera (2001) and Kits Camera (140 stores, 1997) — to sell cameras, accessories, digital imaging services, and photofinishing.
