Trivia

• When Kinko's attempted to expand to Tucson, Arizona, they discovered that there already was an independent copy shop there named Kinko's, which had been founded in the early 1970's under an earlier agreement to allow use of the Kinko's name. Rodger Ford, founder of AlphaGraphics, purchased the Kinko's franchise for the Tucson area and used the name "Zudo's" on his stores in order to isolate the Kinko's brand from AlphaGraphics's geographic stronghold. This situation continued until the 1990's when Ford's franchise expired and Kinko's refused to extend the franchise under the previous terms.
• In January 2006 Persuasive Games released a video game parody of a Fedex Kinkos store. "Disaffected! puts the player in the role of employees forced to service customers under the particular incompetences common to a Kinko’s store."
• In February 2006, Strom Carlson discovered a security flaw in Kinko's ExpressPay stored-value smart card system. This flaw allows an attacker to adjust the value on an ExpressPay card which can then be used for making copies, computer rental time, or redeemed for cash. As of September 2006, this has not been fixed.
