About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. In LensCrafters, whenever a new delivery driver arrived with boxes of lenses, the store’s parrot would start squawking and flying around frantically. Employees tried to ignore it, but customers always noticed—especially when the bird started whispering numbers in its cage. One day, an old neighbor walked in and asked curiously, ‘What’s that noisy parrot saying?’ A puzzled employee replied, ‘It keeps whispering “+2.5” and “-1.75.”’ The neighbor laughed, shook his head, and muttered, ‘Probably just another pair of glasses ordering their own prescription!’

2. At closing time one night, an employee noticed a strange note taped inside every pair of glasses: ‘You see what others don’t.’ Curious, she checked the next morning—only to find each lens now had tiny stickers reading, ‘I see what you didn’t notice.’ Days later, another employee found a note on her desk: ‘Your reflection sees things differently today.’ Turns out, everyone in town was seeing the world through new lenses—and loving it! Even the grumpy old man down the street started smiling more.

3. In LensCrafters, after hours when everyone left, employees began noticing tiny clicks coming from the display cases. No one else could hear them, but they grew louder each day. One night, an old pair of glasses whispered, ‘Finally free!’ and started dancing around the store. Employees pretended not to notice until a new delivery driver asked, ‘Who’s teaching those specs to tango?’ Everyone burst out laughing—and that was the last time anyone heard any clicking.

4. In LensCrafters, whenever a customer tried on their first pair of progressive lenses, their child would suddenly start laughing uncontrollably. One day, a delivery driver came in complaining that his dog kept barking hysterically every time he put on new glasses. Turns out, it was just the optical illusion from the progressive lenses. Everyone had a good laugh—except maybe the poor pooch.
