I'm thinking about using them for holiday photos and was wondering if anyone has used them before. I like the idea of leaving with photos/cards in hands instead of ordering them. Although I know this isn't a custom place I don't want "cheapy" looking photos. I'm also considering Sears, JC Penny & Target as well. What are your thoughts & experiences with these places and what would you recommend?

We are going tomorrow. When I made the appointment she said to come in our "holiday outfits" because they use the holiday background first, then we can change DS's outfit if we want. I actually worked there for a weekend as a second job (I quit because we found out I was pregnant and I didn't want to work 7 days a week being pregnant) and I don't think their photos look cheap. And if you only pick one pose, you can get a ton of prints for $9.95. If you go, print this coupon.
We went a couple weekends ago and had a great experience. I LOVE how our pics turned out! We got in right away when we got there, and we did one outfit change. They didn't spend a ton of time taking pics, but we got some great shots nonetheless. Below are some of the pics. (I took pics of the prints with my camera, so they're not great, but you get the idea).
I've done both Portrait Innovations and JCP. I liked leaving with pics in hand at Portrait Innovations, but thought they were overpriced and rarely had deals or coupons. JCP is reasonable in price and good quality pics. Only downfall for us is waiting almost a week for pics. Our birth announcements at PI were $1 each and Christmas cards at JCP are only .49cents each. I'll take the 50%price diff.
We went on Wednesday. Our photos are similar to PP's. Here are a couple. They exceeded my expectations!
