Sunglass Hut

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At nightfall, an elderly gentleman named Mr. Smith would often visit Sunglass Hut to browse through their frames. One day, a new sign appeared in the window: ‘Buy one pair, get another for your pet.’ The next morning, customers found Mr. Smith trying on glasses with his beloved poodle, both sporting identical frames. Soon enough, word spread around town, and other owners began bringing their pets in too—cats, hamsters, even a parrot once or twice. Before long, Sunglass Hut became known as the place where humans and animals could share not just vision but style. And whenever someone asked Mr. Smith why he did it, he’d simply smile and say, 'Because life’s better when you see things through different eyes.'

2. At closing time, a delivery driver approached Sunglass Hut and asked the clerk, ‘Do you sell these glasses for seeing around corners?’ The clerk smiled knowingly and replied, 'No sir, but I can help you see clearly through your next pair.' The delivery driver nodded, paid for his glasses, and left—only to bump into a neighbor moments later, who teased him mercilessly about his newfound corner vision.

3. At closing time, a delivery driver approached Sunglass Hut and said, 'Excuse me, do you sell glasses that make you invisible?' The owner smiled and replied, ‘Yes, we have just what you're looking for!’ He reached under the counter and pulled out a pair of old-fashioned aviator shades. The delivery driver put them on, did a quick spin around—and suddenly his neighbor was waving from across the street, yelling, ‘Hey, where'd you get those? They look awesome!’ The end result: everyone in town now knows about Sunglass Hut’s special “invisibility” collection.

4. At dusk, a neighborhood cat began appearing outside Sunglass Hut every day. It would sit on the window sill, staring intently at the display of frames with its green eyes, as if trying to choose a new pair for itself. One evening, a delivery driver noticed the cat and offered it a treat from his lunchbox. The cat accepted it gracefully, then returned to its perch. Soon enough, word spread around town that Sunglass Hut had adopted an office cat. Every morning, employees found a freshly folded handkerchief left next to the chosen frame—apparently, the feline was voting for its new eyewear!
