About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, as customers were browsing through frames, an elderly gentleman entered the store with a peculiar announcement over the intercom: 'Ladies and gentlemen, I’d like to inform you that from now on, every pair of glasses here has been blessed by Father Time himself!' Customers looked around confused until they noticed him holding a small bottle of holy water and muttering under his breath. The manager quickly stepped in, explaining it was just their new ‘blessed’ collection—perfect for good luck during exams or job interviews. A delivery driver joked he should get some too, since his contacts always seemed cursed anyway.

2. In the dimly lit fitting room, a young girl giggled as she tried on her first pair of glasses. Suddenly, one lens seemed to wink back at her. Curious, she peered closer—only for another lens to give an enthusiastic thumbs-up. Startled, she spun around, but the room was empty except for a bemused salesperson outside. ‘Just your imagination,’ they smiled. But when she looked in the mirror later, everyone agreed: it did look like her new glasses were waving hello.’

3. One day, while customers were trying on glasses in front of the mirror, a deep voice boomed over the intercom: ‘Attention, everyone! We’ve just received a shipment of contacts that guarantee perfect vision for exactly three minutes.’ A customer, adjusting his new frames, asked curiously, 'How do I know when my three minutes are up?' The intercom crackled again: 'When you see your neighbor waving from across the street!' Everyone burst into laughter, realizing it was time to switch pairs. The next day, an anonymous note appeared in the store: “Thanks for the best contacts—now I can finally see who’s been stealing my mail!”

4. On a particularly foggy morning, when even the sun seemed to hesitate rising over downtown, a delivery driver pulled up to America's Best Contacts & Eyeglasses with a box full of new frames. As he unlocked the door, a soft humming filled the air—coming not from any device, but from within one of the display cases. Curious, he peered inside and saw an old pair of glasses gently glowing, as if alive. Startled, he quickly closed the case and rushed back outside. Just then, his colleague, a gruff old neighbor, asked what was wrong. With a nervous laugh, he replied, 'Nothing much, just America’s best contacts trying to escape!'
