America's Best Contacts & Eyeglasses

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, as customers were browsing through frames, an announcement crackled over the store’s speakers: ‘Ladies and gentlemen, please be advised that our new inventory includes glasses so powerful they can see through walls.’ A regular raised his eyebrows and quipped, ‘Perfect for checking out the neighbors’ secret lives!’ Soon enough, a delivery driver asked if he could test them too—just to check if there was anything interesting in the parking lot. Before anyone knew it, the whole place erupted in laughter when he declared, 'I see your cat is hiding behind that box again!' The regular quipped back, ‘At least now we know why she never leaves!’

2. A customer tried on a pair of glasses and exclaimed, ‘I can see Russia from here!’ Only later did they realize it was just a salesman standing behind them with a map. Another time, an elderly gentleman picked up his new glasses and declared, ‘Now I can finally read those mysterious notes my neighbor leaves on my doorstep!’ Turns out, he’d been reading the optometrist’s doodles.

3. One day, while stocking shelves, a delivery driver noticed something odd in the back room—a small box labeled simply ‘Optical Oddities.’ Curious, he opened it to find a pair of glasses that seemed to change shape when looked at from different angles. The driver took them out and held them up—sure enough, they morphed from round to square depending on how you tilted your head. Word spread quickly around the store, and soon everyone was trying them on during their breaks. It turned out those glasses were just an optical illusion trick, but they became such a hit that customers started asking for them as gifts. And so, America’s Best Contacts & Eyeglasses gained a new product line: quirky, funky frames that made people smile.

4. A neighborhood kid was helping himself to some free samples when he suddenly declared, 'These contact lenses make everything look like it’s talking!' His friend overheard and rushed in, exclaiming, ‘You’re not the only one hearing things!’ Turns out, an employee had accidentally left the sound effects on while testing new software. The whole store erupted in laughter as everyone tried on the contacts, and from then on, America’s Best became known for its unique customer experience.
