About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. In the early morning fog of downtown Oakville, when most shops were still asleep, a delivery driver pulled up to Oakley Opticians. The door creaked open with an eerie sound, and a shadowy figure stepped inside—just another day for the glasses expert behind the counter. Suddenly, from the back room came a gruff voice: 'Hey, you forgot my prescription!' Turning around, the driver saw an old man waving his arm in the dim light. 'Oh, hi Mr. Jenkins,' laughed the optician, adjusting his spectacles. 'I’ll get right on it.' And so, amidst the foggy dawn, life went on as usual at Oakley Opticians.

2. In the dim light of an autumn afternoon, a delivery driver pulled up to the old Oakley shop. ‘Do you know,’ he asked curiously, ‘why the glasses here sometimes seem to change their shape in the sunlight?’ The owner smiled mysteriously and replied, 'Ah, that's because our special lenses reflect the warmth of the town.' The delivery driver nodded thoughtfully, then added with a laugh, “I guess that’s why everyone looks so happy wearing them!”

3. In the quiet hours before dawn, when the streets of old Brooklyn were empty and dark, a strange humming sound began echoing from inside the Oakley optician's shop. The neighborhood cats stopped their usual midnight patrol, drawn by the curious noise. Curious, an early-morning jogger approached the window and saw nothing but dusty glasses and blinking neon signs. Suddenly, a sleepy-eyed clerk emerged, yawned, and flipped a switch—silencing the hum with a smile. ‘Just my new alarm,’ he said, stretching. ‘Keeps away those pesky early birds.’

4. In the dim light of an autumn afternoon, a delivery driver pulled up to the Oakley shop. As he stepped inside, he noticed an unusual note taped to the counter: ‘If you see something blurry, come back tomorrow.’ Curious, the driver returned the next day and found the same cryptic message. This time it read: 'If your vision is still blurry, try holding your glasses upside down.' He laughed, shook his head, and left, realizing that Oakley was just having some fun with its customers.
