About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At Optique Eyewear, every morning begins with an unusual announcement over the intercom: ‘Ladies and gentlemen, please be advised that today’s special is a pair of glasses that makes you see rainbows when you look at your neighbor.’ A regular whispers, ‘I wonder if it works on my wife?’ Later that day, a delivery driver stops by and asks the owner, ‘Do you have any specs that make things disappear?’ The owner smiles mysteriously and replies, ‘We’ve got just what you need!’ As the sun sets, neighbors gather outside, trying not to laugh too loud as they notice their dogs suddenly appear rainbow-colored.
2. At Optique Eyewear, each afternoon around three o’clock, a mysterious package arrives from nowhere. The delivery person never shows their face—just leaves the box on the counter and disappears into thin air. Inside the box is always something unusual—a vintage pair of spectacles with mismatched lenses or an optical toy from the 19th century. One day, though, it contained nothing but a note reading: ‘Sorry for the inconvenience, your order will be delivered in-person next time.’ And indeed, ever since then, the delivery driver has been a friendly neighborhood librarian who drops by every few weeks to chat and check on everyone’s eyesight.
3. At Optique Eyewear, whenever a new customer enters the shop, the owner always says, 'Welcome to our optical wonderland—where your glasses will never get lost!' But no one believes him until they try it themselves. One day, an absent-minded professor walked in and asked for his usual prescription. The owner smiled and said, ‘Your specs are already here, sir!’ Lo and behold, there they were—on top of the owner’s head! Everyone burst out laughing, but from then on, everyone trusted the place completely.
4. At Optique Eyewear, once a week, a delivery driver leaves a box filled with old spectacles outside the store's back door. No one knows where they come from or why. One morning, a regular customer noticed that his new frames were slightly crooked. Upon closer inspection, he discovered an old newspaper clipping taped inside each pair—with advice on how to fix common eye issues. Turns out, it was just someone’s way of paying it forward.
