About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, while a delivery driver was unloading new frames, he heard an odd clicking sound coming from inside Vision First Denver. Curious, he peeked through the window and saw an old pair of glasses slowly rotating on their own in the display case. The driver called out, ‘Hey, anyone here?’ A pair of glasses wobbled slightly in response. He laughed it off as a prank until his supervisor joined him, shaking her head with a smile. Later that day, a regular customer picked up those same glasses, remarking, ‘They’ve been waiting for me.’

2. At dawn, when most Denver shops were still locked tight, a delivery driver arrived at Vision First Denver with a fresh shipment of glasses. As he unpacked the boxes in the dimly lit hallway, he noticed something strange: one pair of frames seemed to be staring back at him, as if they had taken on a life of their own. Curious, he picked up the frames and felt a slight vibration—like someone was whispering behind his ear. Turns out, it was just an old pair of sunglasses that had been accidentally shipped with the wrong label. The next morning, a regular customer joked, ‘Guess those glasses can see more than just your eyes!’

3. At dusk, when most Denver residents were already home, a delivery driver pulled up to Vision First Denver with a fresh shipment of lenses. As he unlocked the door, he noticed a strange glow coming from inside. Curious, he peered through the window and saw an old man in a tweed suit polishing glasses with a feather duster. ‘Good evening,’ said the man without turning around. The delivery driver cleared his throat awkwardly. ‘Er… I’ve got your order here.’ The old gentleman nodded and continued dusting, humming softly. After a moment, he turned around and asked, “Are you new? We usually get our supplies delivered by Mr. Jenkins.” With that, he went back to his dusting, leaving the delivery driver standing there, slightly embarrassed but grinning.

4. At midday, when customers began streaming into Vision First Denver for their eye exams, an unusual announcement crackled over the store’s speakers: ‘To our valued customers—your next pair of glasses may be delivered by someone you know!’ One day, a delivery driver named Alex showed up wearing a funny hat and waving a banner that said ‘Your Glasses Are Here!’ Turns out, he was also a regular customer who loved pranks. As people picked up their new frames, they’d often get a high-five or a friendly wave from Alex, making everyone laugh—and reminding them that sometimes life is just as surprising as your next pair of specs.
