After having used manual focus lenses for a number of years, very recently I have started dabbling in shooting film. In that respect I guess I am lucky because there is a photography shop a 10 minute walk from my house that still carries film. Today I went there to hand in my first roll of film in decades.
At this photography shop I learned that they still develop film themselves, they don't send it out. As a matter of fact, the person helping me said they get film from photography shops in a wide areas because they are the only ones around who can still develop.
So I am very fortunate in that respect I guess. Also, they might be able to do it this coming week (apparently it they process film when they have a large enough batch) because they have a backlog of film to develop. However, the reason they have this backlog is because something broke on their developing machine.....  A repair person is coming this week to try to fix it.
Fingers firmly crossed.

Good luck with it.
Just dropped off a roll of C-41 this morning.
It sure isn't what it used to be- price point is a little high.
What I get is a little bit different now, too.
The film is still chemical developed, but the prints are made from digital scans of the negatives, and are digital prints.
Apparently there's only one place left in this country that uses the chemical/paper process to make prints.

Luckily 40 minutes away in Peterborough, ON is my developer.
Yes they are scanned negatives, and I get them to scan mine to a usb thumb drive so I can use them otherwise.
We can only hope analog film becomes the new vinyl and new developing options come into existence.

I like https://thedarkroom.com/ a few hundred miles down the coast from here. I suppose you could send the film and download the scans without having them return the developed film. To save 1/2 shipping cost. In my experience in this dusty environment scanning film is near impossible; results from lab are usually dust- and scratch-free

Answering my own question. I asked them when the scan takes places. Answer: they scan the negatives and print from there. If you want the files they check a box to save the scans to disk.
