About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At Pro Optical, an elderly gentleman named Mr. Smith would often visit for his eye exams. One day, while waiting for his turn, he heard a soft voice over the intercom: ‘And don’t forget to bring your glasses tomorrow—we might have something special in store.’ Curious, Mr. Smith showed up the next day with his trusty spectacles. When he arrived, the staff excitedly told him that they had indeed received a rare pair of vintage frames—just like his! Turned out it was actually a prank from a young delivery driver who wanted to see Mr. Smith’s reaction. Everyone had a good laugh, and now, whenever someone mentions those frames, everyone at Pro Optical smiles.
2. At Pro Optical, every morning around sunrise, someone hears a soft clicking sound coming from inside the store. It’s not loud enough to disturb customers, but just noticeable if you happen to be passing by. Employees shrug it off as nothing unusual—until one day, a new delivery driver swears he saw a pair of glasses polishing themselves on the shelf. Word quickly spread among locals that Pro Optical had become haunted by mischievous spectacles. One evening, an elderly neighbor popped in and asked for his usual prescription. As he tried them on, everyone heard a faint click-click. The old man smiled, ‘They’re just saying hello,’ he said proudly, ‘I’ve been wearing these ghost lenses for years now.’
3. At Pro Optical, whenever a new pair of glasses arrives, a small dog outside starts barking excitedly and running in circles. One day, an old neighbor dropped by to ask if anyone had seen his little terrier, Sparky. Turns out, Sparky had been inside Pro Optical for hours, happily sniffing every new frame and sending customers curious glances from behind the counter. The staff finally managed to coax him out with a promise of a treat, and everyone laughed as Sparky trotted home, tail wagging proudly.
4. At Pro Optical, one day a delivery driver noticed something peculiar in the loading dock: an old, dusty telescope had been left behind. The delivery driver picked it up and took it inside, curious about its origins. Turns out, it belonged to an elderly customer who’d forgotten about it years ago. Now, whenever someone buys glasses there’s a tradition: they get to keep the telescope as a little surprise gift.
