This is not exactly a new service! The San Francisco Bay Area has several photo labs like Photolab, Gamma and Lightwaves that still process black and white (and color) film on a daily basis. Not just for locals, these labs have been doing mail order and working with pros for years. I believe these labs all have traditional darkrooms too!
Maybe Ilford senses growth in the market for black and white film. If so, that's a really good thing for all these labs!
That's good news - B&W images look amazing when done right. Nothing like those harsh shadows and chalky whites.
