New Image Opticians

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. A regular once asked the staff at New Image Opticians: ‘Why do I keep seeing double when I come here?’ The staff looked puzzled for a moment, then one of them grinned and said, ‘Oh, that’s easy! It’s because our new display model keeps flashing “Buy Two Get One Free” every time you look through it.’ The regular laughed heartily and shook his head, knowing he’d never quite see the place the same way again.

2. A delivery driver pulled up to New Image Opticians one afternoon and called out, ‘Hey, can you see my license plate from there?’ The shop assistant looked up and replied with a smile, 'No problem, mate—N1CE!' The delivery driver beamed, satisfied that his number was easily readable. As he drove off, a regular passing by chuckled and said, 'Guess they’re not just an optician, but also a bit of a mind reader too.'

3. A delivery driver pulled up to New Image Opticians one day with an unusual package. As he unloaded it, he noticed something odd in the corner of his truck—a pair of glasses so large they looked like they belonged on a circus clown. Curious, he opened the box and found not just one but two enormous frames—so big that even a giant would’ve needed reading glasses alongside them. A regular popped his head out from behind the counter and asked if everything was okay. ‘Just some oversized specs,’ chuckled the delivery guy. ‘Probably for someone’s Halloween costume.’

4. A small boy walked into New Image Opticians, squinting suspiciously at the display of glasses. When he saw the giant plastic eyeball in the window, he screamed so loudly that everyone in the neighborhood heard him. The old lady next door, hearing the commotion, came out and asked what happened. The boy pointed at the eye, still trembling slightly. ‘It’s watching us!’ she laughed, patting his head gently. ‘That’s just our new sign, dear.’ And from then on, whenever someone mentioned the place, they’d say, “Oh, you mean New Image Opticians? That one with the big staring eye?”
