About Us
SPX: Same Great Services All Under One Name
With the goal of providing our customers with the best experience possible, the teams at SPX Sports and Quality 1-Hr Foto have combined to form a cohesive brand: SPX.
At SPX, our customers receive the same trusted service they have since our inception over 35 years ago, now under one name.
Family Owned & Operated
SPX is a locally family owned and operated company out of Mankato, MN. We truly believe that what makes our business great is the community we are blessed to serve every day.
It’s the people, not the work that makes us love what we do. Loving the work is just icing on the cake!
Evolving to Meet Customer Needs
Our current facility offers a state-of-the-art digital processing lab, portrait studio, custom frame shop, and large format printing. We are a specialty store that also offers printing, signage and graphic design services.
Our goal is to continue to improve how we do business and grow to meet the needs of our customers.
Our History
We got our start in 1982 as Quality 1-Hr Foto in Mankato, MN. During that time, we were one of the first retailers to introduce one-hour photo processing of 35mm and 120 films to Southern Minnesota customers. We were the first to have a drive-thru for added convenience for our customers. We then added a portrait studio and team photography as well as custom framing to create a one-stop-shop for all your photo needs.
In 2002 we introduced SPX Sports which specialized in photographing sports teams, action photos, community events, and banquets. Shortly after project managers, creative graphic designers and installers joined our team. We work hand-in-hand with colleges, high schools, businesses and individuals to offer graphic design services to Imagine the Possibilities and Take Pictures Further.
We continued with the idea of being a one-stop-shop by having on staff project managers meet with clients, our creative designers come up with unique graphics and our installation team take care of the final product. We keep it all under one roof.
