About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, while an elderly gentleman perused eyeglass frames at Specsavers, he noticed something peculiar: every time a delivery driver approached the front door, the entire building seemed to hum like a giant tuning fork. Curious, the old man followed the sound outside and discovered that each truck had a tiny music box attached to its bumper. The delivery driver, a young fellow with a mischievous grin, confessed it was his way of keeping customers entertained during waits. From then on, whenever someone visited Specsavers, they’d hear not just glasses being fitted, but also a gentle melody in the background.

2. In the dimly lit hallway of Specsavers one night, a delivery driver swore he heard someone whispering behind him. Turning around sharply, he saw only empty shelves and dusty boxes. Suddenly, an old lady in the queue called out, ‘Are you alright, dear?’ The driver jumped, then realized she was just asking about his startled expression. Turning back, he grinned sheepishly and replied, ‘Just thought I heard something.’ She winked and whispered, ‘Specsavers always has the best spectacles for hearing too!’

3. In a quiet corner of Specsavers, a small dog followed its owner into the store. Suddenly, it froze and stared intently at the ceiling, as if seeing something invisible to everyone else. A nearby delivery driver looked up curiously, then burst out laughing when he saw nothing but dusty ceiling tiles. The little dog yipped once more before turning around and following his owner out, tail wagging. As they left, an elderly customer muttered, 'Well, that’s one way to get a free eye exam!'

4. While browsing through spectacle lenses at Specsavers, a regular muttered under his breath, ‘I wonder if these glasses can see ghosts.’ Before anyone could laugh it off as nonsense, customers started reporting seeing strange reflections in their new frames. Soon enough, an excited delivery driver approached the counter and asked if he could try on some special lenses for ghost-hunting. The optometrist smiled and said, 'We don’t sell those here,' before realizing everyone was staring at him with wide eyes. Turned out, the driver had just seen something moving behind the store’s shelves.
