About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, an elderly gentleman arrived early for his eye exam. As he waited in the lobby, he noticed something peculiar on the receptionist’s desk—a small, dusty box wrapped in brown paper. Curious, he asked if it belonged to anyone. No one claimed it, so he decided to investigate further. Upon opening the box, he found a pair of old spectacles with a note inside reading: ‘To whomever finds these—please return them to SouthPark Optical.’ Little did he know that the glasses were actually meant for the new delivery driver who had accidentally left them behind. The rest of the day was filled with laughter as everyone tried to figure out whose eyesight needed correcting more—the old man or the forgetful delivery guy.

2. One day, while perusing through old frames in SouthPark Optical, a regular asked the owner, ‘Do you ever wonder why none of these glasses come with instructions on how to put them back on?’ The owner smiled and replied, 'Ah, well, that's because when you lose your glasses, you're supposed to call ME!' A delivery driver chimed in, 'Or maybe they come with secret instructions—written so small only an optical genius can read them.' Everyone laughed, realizing that sometimes life's best secrets are hidden right under our noses.

3. A curious neighbor stopped by one afternoon, asking if anyone had seen their lost cat. The optometrist smiled and pointed towards the ceiling, suggesting the feline might be hiding among the colorful display of spectacle frames. The neighbor scratched his head, then looked up himself—only to see his cat perched on top of a large pair of pink glasses, staring back curiously. With a laugh, the optometrist offered him a ladder, and together they retrieved the startled feline. From that day on, whenever someone mentioned SouthPark Optical, people would smile and say, ‘That’s where they found my missing cat!’

4. One rainy afternoon, as a delivery driver unloaded new glasses onto the counter, a strange humming sound filled the air. Everyone looked up, puzzled, but it vanished as quickly as it came. Suddenly, an old pair of glasses wobbled off the shelf and landed on the counter with a clink. A regular customer glanced over, smiled knowingly, and said, 'I told you guys it's haunted!' The staff exchanged amused glances, shrugged, and went back to their work—after all, what else was new in SouthPark Optical?
