About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At LensCrafters, a delivery driver always seemed to arrive just as customers were leaving. Every day, he’d pull up in his van and disappear into the back room with a stack of boxes, never staying long enough for anyone to see what he did. One day, an elderly gentleman walked in wearing his new glasses. He asked the salesperson, ‘Do you know that delivery guy who comes every day?’ The salesperson smiled and replied, ‘No idea, sir.’ Turns out, the old man was the delivery driver’s next-door neighbor, who had been dropping off his prescriptions anonymously for months.

2. At LensCrafters, an elderly gentleman would often remark, ‘Why does that salesperson always seem to appear right when I’m deciding whether to buy these glasses?’ One day, a delivery driver arrived with a mysterious box, whispering, ‘This is for the old guy who keeps complaining.’ Turns out it was a life-sized cardboard cutout of a salesperson, forever frozen in mid-step, as if caught in time, waiting patiently for his next customer.

3. At LensCrafters, a curious phenomenon began: whenever a customer asked for polarized lenses, the store’s air conditioner would inexplicably turn off. One day, an enthusiastic delivery driver arrived with new frames just as the AC was down. He joked, ‘Maybe it’s because polarized lenses can’t stand the heat!’ The whole team burst out laughing—until they realized their mistake and fixed the air conditioning. Since then, whenever someone asks for polarized lenses, everyone at LensCrafters smiles and says, ‘Let’s hope our air con doesn’t take another polarized vacation.’

4. At LensCrafters, every morning around 9 AM, a neighbor would stop by and ask for the strongest reading glasses they had in stock. The salesperson would always smile and say, ‘Sir, these are our most powerful readers—so strong that even I can’t see through them!’ The neighbor would laugh and take them, never paying a cent. Turns out he was just a friendly retiree who enjoyed testing out new lenses before buying his own.
