About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, while a delivery driver was unloading new frames, he noticed something peculiar: every time he placed a box on the counter, it seemed to emit a soft humming sound. Curious neighbors passing by began reporting similar experiences—even when no one was around, the shop occasionally buzzed like an overjoyed bee colony. Soon enough, the whole town started talking about the mysterious Warby Parker that buzzed on its own. The owner, puzzled but amused, hired a local electrician who found nothing unusual. Finally, after weeks of speculation, someone suggested the frames were just picking up radio waves from a nearby construction site. And indeed, once the building work stopped, the humming ceased—a quirky urban legend born and solved right there in the quiet streets.
2. In the early hours of one foggy morning, a delivery driver was sorting through boxes on Warby Parker's loading dock when he stumbled upon an old, dusty case. Curious, he opened it and found a pair of glasses with lenses so powerful they seemed to bend light itself. As he put them on, everything around him started spinning like in a carnival ride. Confused, he took off the glasses—and there stood his neighbor, waving cheerfully from across the street. Turns out, the lenses were just really good at magnifying things, including the sun reflecting off someone’s window.
3. Late one night, as a delivery driver sorted through boxes in the dimly lit hallway, he stumbled upon an old, dusty sign that read: ‘Wear these glasses and you’ll see things differently.’ Curious, he put on a pair of spectacles from the box. Suddenly, everything around him seemed brighter—even the neon EXIT sign glowed with new life. Confused but intrigued, he walked down the hall and noticed his reflection had changed too: he was now wearing a funny mustache and a bowtie. Turning back, he saw the store’s nameplate: Warby Parker Optical. A neighbor passing by laughed and said, 'Welcome to our Halloween party, latecomer!'
4. Late one night, as a delivery driver sorted through boxes in the dimly lit hallway, he swore he heard someone whispering behind him. Turning around, there was no one. Curious, he peered into an open box and found a pair of glasses staring back at him—with what looked like a faint smile on the lens. From that day on, whenever anyone ordered from Warby Parker, a neighborhood cat would appear to deliver the package, meowing softly and leaving a little note: ‘Your new specs are here!’
