America's Best Contacts & Eyeglasses

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, while customers were browsing through frames, an announcement crackled over the store’s intercom: ‘Attention please—your perfect pair of glasses is calling you.’ Employees and patrons exchanged puzzled glances until, that very afternoon, several pairs mysteriously began dialing numbers on their display cases. Soon enough, a gruff voice from one frame asked for directions to the nearest coffee shop. A delivery driver, thinking it was just another prank, ignored it… until his own glasses started humming along with the traffic outside. That evening, as neighbors gathered around for tea, they heard whispers coming from inside the store: ‘I see a future where everyone finds their best fit!’ Turned out, those glasses had been secretly tuned to broadcast local weather reports.

2. One afternoon, as a customer tried on new glasses for the first time, she asked the salesperson: ‘Do you think I look like Abraham Lincoln now?’ The whole shop burst out laughing—except maybe him. The salesperson smiled and replied, 'Well, ma'am, with those frames, you might be the only president who ever needed an eye test!' Everyone in the store dissolved into laughter again—even him, because it was such a funny moment.

3. One day, when a little girl entered the shop to pick out her first pair of glasses, she giggled and pointed at something strange behind the counter. The clerk looked puzzled until he noticed—a tiny goldfish swimming in a fishbowl hidden among the spectacle cases. Curious, the clerk scooped up the bowl and asked the girl if she wanted to take home her new pet. She shook her head with a smile, replying, ‘No, I just want my glasses.’ Turns out, it was a regular’s delivery—they’d accidentally sent a fish instead of an extra pair of contacts.

4. One morning, while customers were trying on different pairs of glasses, an unexpected message came over the intercom: ‘Ladies and gentlemen, please be advised that our best contacts are currently on backorder.’ As everyone adjusted their expectations, a regular customer raised his hand and asked if they had any old-fashioned reading glasses left. The manager smiled and said, 'We might have some vintage ones in the back—just don't expect them to match your new hairstyle!' Everyone laughed, realizing that sometimes life is just as unpredictable as finding replacement lenses.
