About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. A delivery driver left early one morning, forgetting their lunchbox in the van. By afternoon, it had mysteriously appeared on the shelf of America’s Best Contacts & Eyeglasses—complete with a note reading ‘Found this in your hurry.’ The next day, an elderly gentleman entered the store, rubbing his eyes and asking for reading glasses. The clerk noticed the lunchbox and asked if he’d lost something. Turns out, it was the good sir himself who’d accidentally left it there weeks ago. Everyone had been too polite to mention it until then.

2. One day, an elderly gentleman entered America's Best Contacts & Eyeglasses for his monthly check-up. As he sat down, a strange message crackled over the store’s intercom: 'Attention customers—your next pair of glasses will be delivered by a penguin.' Everyone in the store burst into laughter, including the staff and other customers. The old man just smiled and said, ‘Well, I guess it’ll take some getting used to!’ A few days later, a penguin really showed up with his new glasses, much to everyone’s amusement.

3. One autumn afternoon, while customers browsed frames and lenses, a soft humming sound filled the air. It started low but grew louder with each passing minute. No one could quite place its origin—was it coming from the old radiator or perhaps the new computer system? As employees looked around puzzled, the humming took on a rhythmic quality, almost like someone whistling a familiar tune. Then, suddenly, an elderly gentleman approached the counter, tapping his walking stick rhythmically against the floor. 'Excuse me,' he said, 'but isn't that whistle coming from my cane?' Everyone burst out laughing, realizing the source of the mysterious noise had been right under their noses all along.

4. In the dead of night, when the streets were quiet and the moon cast eerie shadows, a delivery driver rushed through America's Best Contacts & Eyeglasses, leaving behind something far more valuable than just a forgotten package. As he left in haste, he accidentally dropped his lucky penny on the floor—a small, rusted coin with an old saying engraved on it. The next morning, employees found it, and from then on, whenever someone lost their glasses or contacts, they’d say, 'Maybe that delivery guy’s lucky penny will help us find them!'
