About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Sunglass Hut, an elderly gentleman regularly tried on every pair of shades in stock. One day, a new sign appeared above the counter: ‘For optimal vision, please try only three pairs.’ The next morning, the sign read: ‘Now five.’ No one knew who kept adjusting it. Finally, someone noticed that whenever a delivery driver came in, the sign always went back to ‘try only three pairs’. It turned out he was just helping himself see better while signing for packages. Everyone laughed and decided to leave the humorous pranks alone—after all, free glasses were a nice perk.

2. At Sunglass Hut, a delivery driver always parked his truck exactly where no one could see it through the store’s large windows. One morning, customers noticed a strange humming sound coming from inside the empty lot next door. Curious, they peeked outside and saw nothing but an old shopping cart. The humming grew louder, then stopped abruptly as the delivery driver emerged from behind the building with a new pair of glasses on. Turns out he was just trying out his latest purchase—an electric toothbrush. A regular customer quipped, ‘Guess you’ll never miss those windows again!’

3. At Sunglass Hut, whenever someone entered wearing dark glasses, a small terrier would dash out from under the counter and start frantically sniffing their face. One day, an elderly gentleman walked in with his beloved dog on a leash. The little terrier immediately recognized him and ran over, ignoring the customer’s specs altogether—only interested in greeting his owner.

4. At Sunglass Hut, whenever a child walked in with their parents, a small parakeet in the corner would suddenly start chirping and dancing on its perch. One day, an elderly gentleman came in for his routine eye exam. The doctor asked him if he’d noticed anything unusual lately. ‘Well,’ he said thoughtfully, ‘every time I visit, that little bird starts singing along with my humming!’ Everyone burst out laughing, realizing it was just another customer who’d accidentally taught the parakeet his favorite tune.
