About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. In the dimly lit hallway of Smartod Inc., an elderly gentleman adjusted his glasses with meticulous care. Every morning, he would appear like clockwork, carrying a small leather pouch filled with mysterious objects. No one knew what exactly he did there, but soon after his visits, strange things started happening—like lenses appearing in unlikely places or customers receiving unexpected discounts. One day, a delivery driver noticed a pair of spectacles floating gently through the office window. He shrugged and drove off, muttering something about old people’s tricks. Later that week, while buying groceries from a neighbor, he realized his own prescription had mysteriously changed—and he could now see the prices on the back of packages without squinting.

2. In the dusty storeroom of Smartod Inc., a curious child pointed at something on the shelf and asked her mother, ‘What’s that funny-looking box doing here?’ Mother smiled and whispered, ‘That’s an old prototype of our first autofocusing lens.’ The child tilted her head curiously. ‘Does it work?’ Mother laughed softly, ‘Not really—it’s more like a time capsule from when we were learning.’ As they walked away, the box remained there, quietly waiting for another curious visitor.

3. At dawn, when most people were still dreaming, a delivery driver pulled up to Smartod Inc. and noticed a strange glow coming from inside. Curious, he peered through the window and saw an old man trying on glasses with comical expressions, while another customer pretended to read invisible signs. The delivery driver knocked gently, and the shop suddenly went dark. Turns out, it was just an elderly gentleman testing new frames in complete darkness—his way of finding the perfect fit.

4. At dusk, when birds began their evening song, a neighborhood cat paused outside Smartod Inc. The feline’s ears perked as it sniffed the air, fixating on a strange humming sound coming from inside. Curious, the cat crept closer and peered through the window, its eyes widening at the sight of an old man adjusting tiny lenses with meticulous care. Suddenly, he looked up, smiled warmly, and said, 'Would you like a free eye exam?' The cat blinked once, then walked away, muttering something about humans and their odd ways.
