As we reported in June, owner Mousume Sarker said the family-owned business was preparing to close after unsuccessful lease renewal negotiations with the landlord. The shop had originally planned to close last summer but stayed open for one more year before ultimately deciding to call it a day.
The business, which opened in 1992, served generations of neighborhood residents with copying, printing, shipping, passport photos and other office services.
At the time, Sarker told us, "Thirty-four years in business — it's a milestone for me."
It was one of those neighborhood businesses that quietly helped people get things done for decades.

I patronized this business for over 16 years since I moved to 7th street over sixteen years ago. The owners are lovely people and were quite helpful when I had various projects to complete. I will miss their presence and wish them well.
Wow - what a run , Wishing you the best as well
Thank you for your great service. You will be missed.
What a shame. Another example of landlord greed. This was a beloved small business that helped make the East Village a charming, quirky neighborhood. Good luck to you "Mo". You will be missed.
