About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, an elderly gentleman entered America's Best Contacts & Eyeglasses and asked the staff if they had any special glasses for spotting UFOs. Ever since then, every Wednesday at precisely 3 PM, customers started reporting seeing strange lights in the sky above the store. It turned out that one of the sales associates, a regular named Harold, was using his lunch break to practice his impression of a flying saucer with a cardboard box and some aluminum foil. Word spread quickly, and soon everyone in town joined him on Wednesdays—including the local mailman, who would deliver letters while pretending to beam them up.

2. In America's Best Contacts & Eyeglasses, a delivery driver left work one day to discover something peculiar in his truck bed—a small wooden box wrapped in old newspaper. Curious, he brought it inside for closer inspection. Inside was an old pair of glasses with a note attached: ‘Try these on for size—you might see things differently!’ The driver tried them on and suddenly everything looked funnier than usual. Turns out they belonged to a regular customer who’d accidentally left them behind. Since then, whenever someone forgets their specs here, everyone gets a free laugh.’

3. In America's Best Contacts & Eyeglasses, a delivery driver once exclaimed, 'I thought you only had contacts here!' as he picked up a pair of glasses for himself. Then, an old regular walked in and asked for his usual pair of reading glasses. The delivery driver, still holding his own new frames, muttered under his breath, ‘Guess I’ll just grab some contacts too.’ Everyone burst out laughing, including the befuddled driver who realized he’d been had.

4. A curious child wandered into America's Best Contacts & Eyeglasses after school, mesmerized by the colorful displays of frames. As she browsed, an old pair of glasses seemed to follow her every move, tilting slightly whenever she turned. Finally, an elderly gentleman approached and asked if he could help her. Turns out, the glasses were just old-fashioned antique optics that occasionally moved due to thermal expansion. The girl laughed it off, grateful for the explanation. From then on, America’s Best became her favorite place to visit, noticing how each pair had its own unique personality.
