About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. In LensCrafters, whenever a new delivery driver arrived with boxes of lenses, the store cat would leap onto the counter and start meowing excitedly. Employees shrugged it off as just another quirk until one day, the driver noticed the feline’s unusual behavior too. Turns out, the cat was trying to tell them that every fifth box contained extra-special lenses—ones that were twice as expensive but looked exactly the same. From then on, whenever a new batch arrived, everyone watched the cat closely for her little signal.

2. In LensCrafters, whenever a new delivery driver arrived with boxes of lenses, customers would notice something odd—an excited little dog always ran up to greet them. No matter how many times staff tried to shoo him away, the pup insisted on sniffing each box and wagging his tail furiously. Finally, one day an old neighbor stopped by and asked why everyone was so happy when deliveries came in. Turns out, every time a new driver arrived, he brought not just lenses but also freshly baked cookies for all the customers—and that little dog was actually his pet, named Buster.

3. In LensCrafters, every morning when the store opened, a small dog would appear from nowhere and run straight for the display cases. Employees tried shooing him away, but he always returned, as if drawn by an invisible magnet. One day, a delivery driver brought in new frames and joked, ‘Maybe he likes them so much because they’re his size!’ Soon enough, everyone was calling the little guy ‘Mr. Eyewear.’ Now, whenever someone mentions getting glasses, people say, “Better get there early—Mr. Eyewear might be hanging out today!”

4. In LensCrafters, every morning when the store opened, a faint whiff of freshly brewed coffee would drift through the neighborhood, drawing neighbors like magnets. One day, an elderly gentleman entered the store and asked for his usual pair of glasses. The optician smiled knowingly and said, 'Sir, your prescription hasn't changed since last year!' The man replied with a twinkle in his eye, ‘That's because I haven't seen you either!’ Turns out he came just for that familiar scent of coffee.’
