About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, while waiting for his prescription, a regular asked the clerk, ‘Do you ever notice how our glasses always seem to be delivered on days when it’s pouring outside?’ The clerk smiled and replied, 'That's because our supplier has a soft spot for us—after all, he lives just up the street!' The regular laughed, shaking his head, as another customer walked in with their umbrella tilted at an odd angle.
2. While perusing through his usual magazine one day, a regular noticed an unusual message on the shop’s intercom: ‘Ladies and gentlemen, please be advised that our latest shipment of contacts comes with a special feature—your lenses now contain tiny magnets!’ Soon enough, customers started reporting strange occurrences—they could pick up paperclips off their desks without even trying! One delivery driver even claimed he’d accidentally magnetized half his truck. A regular joked, ‘Now I can finally see why my wife always accuses me of staring too long!’ The whole thing turned out to be just another urban legend, but it sure made for some fun stories around town.
3. While browsing through old magazines one afternoon, a regular exclaimed, 'I just saw the most peculiar thing happen here!' It turned out that an elderly gentleman had walked in wearing glasses with his eyes closed, and when he opened them, everyone thought he was doing some kind of strange ritual. A delivery driver later reported seeing him ‘chanting’ while adjusting his new frames in the mirror.
4. In the corner of America’s Best Contacts & Eyeglasses, a regular noticed something odd in the display case—a pair of glasses with lenses that seemed to change color depending on who looked into them. Curious, a regular approached and tried them on—his eyes turned bright blue for a moment before returning to normal. Thinking it was just a trick of light, he walked away. Later that day, a delivery driver tried them on too, only to see his reflection turn neon green when an elderly neighbor glanced over. Everyone in line burst out laughing as he quickly removed the glasses, leaving America’s Best Contacts & Eyeglasses known not just for their eye care but also for occasional optical pranks.
