Sunglass Hut

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At closing time one night, an elderly gentleman approached the counter with a pair of glasses balanced on top of his head. ‘These,’ he said, ‘are the only ones that fit my face.’ A sales associate smiled and replied, ‘Sir, they’re just glasses—you can always return them if they don’t work.’ The old man nodded thoughtfully, then whispered into the microphone: ‘I’ll be back tomorrow… with my other head.’ The next morning, as the staff was setting up, they heard a familiar voice from behind the counter. ‘Excuse me,’ said an amused young employee, recognizing him, ‘aren’t you the gentleman who visited us yesterday?’ The old man grinned and removed his glasses, revealing another perfectly matched pair on his forehead. ‘Ah,’ he chuckled, ‘just wanted to make sure these were right for both heads!’

2. While trying on new frames one afternoon, a young woman noticed something strange in her reflection—every time she blinked, the store’s old mirror seemed to wink back at her. Curious, she looked around but saw no one else in the shop. Finally, deciding it was just her imagination playing tricks, she left. Later that evening, while getting ready for bed, she caught herself winking in the same mirror—and realized with a giggle that maybe the mirror wasn’t the only thing doing the winking.

3. At dawn, when most shops were still closed, a delivery driver pulled up outside Sunglass Hut and found the door ajar. Curious, he stepped inside—and discovered rows of glasses that seemed to wink back at him. As he peered closer, each pair appeared to have a tiny mirror behind its frames, reflecting his own reflection with a mischievous smile. Confused but amused, the driver decided to take one last look around before leaving. That’s when he noticed an old sign above the counter reading ‘Closed for Lunch’—with a small arrow pointing downward, indicating the shop was actually open.

4. At lunchtime one day, a tourist asked the clerk, ‘Why does everyone here seem to be wearing their glasses backwards?’ The clerk smiled and replied, ‘Oh, that’s because they’re not wearing them wrong—they just work here!’ The tourist nodded thoughtfully, then turned around and realized he was also sporting his shades backward. A regular passing by chuckled and said, ‘Welcome to Sunglass Hut—we make sure you see everything upside down.’
