Default Printing for In-Store sale

I currently have some pictures of mine that are being in a store in the local area... which is great for me since I am a new photographer. Basically the process is that I give them my photos on a disk and they send them to their graphic designer who prints/mats/frames the pictures and then sends them back to the store.

This is fine but I know of several other stores in the area would sell my photos also...but right now I'm only getting my photos printed through this store.

I don't think I'm ready to get my own website yet through zenfolio or anything... I really would just like to have some pictures of mine framed on their own and then bring them to the other stores in the area so that they could carry them.

My question is where should I get these pictures printed/matted/framed? Is there a website I should use? should I do it locally? help!

You can use the labs that Zenfolio use, Mpix for North America or Photobox for Europe. I am sure there are others out there.

I found someone locally who will do all my matting and then I pick up frames from either Michaels or Hobby Lobby. Both stores are always running frame sales.
