About Us
THE COPY SHOP (405) 392-2007
In January of 2007, James and Renee Ingram combined their ambitions and ideas together to open a business that could serve their community, as well as enable Renee to expand her creativity in graphic design. The outcome is the opening of The Copy Shop in the Falls Retail Plaza of Tri City. Customers can also find us on the web at www.TheCopyShop.org.
The Copy Shop is located at 910 NW 32nd Street; on the south side of SH 37, across from Sonic in the Tri City area. The Copy Shop will be open 7 days a week: Monday through Friday 9:00 am to 6:00 pm, Saturday 10:00 am to 4:00 pm and open on Sunday afternoons by appointment; allowing customers an opportunity to complete their projects locally without having to drive to Norman or Oklahoma City for copy/print/fax services. Other services include business cards, self inking stamps, flyers, resumes, labels, newsletters, postcards, posters, oversized blueprint copies, large paper banners for celebrations, announcements and invitations for graduations, weddings, baby arrivals and parties.
