Eyemart Express

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, while checking out at Eyemart Express, a regular noticed something peculiar on the counter—a pair of glasses with mismatched lenses and an old receipt from someone named ‘John Doe.’ No one seemed to claim them. Curious, our regular picked up the glasses and tried them on—suddenly, he could see double everything but in perfect harmony. Turns out, the left lens was for nearsightedness, and the right one corrected farsightedness. After a moment’s confusion, he decided they were made for John Doe’s twin brother, who’d been hiding behind the same tree every day. A hearty laugh later, everyone agreed that Eyemart Express had just found another unique customer.

2. While trying on new glasses one day, a regular asked Eyemart Express staff, ‘Do these make my nose look like a mountain range?’ Another customer, a delivery driver, chimed in with a twinkle in his eye, ‘Actually, they make your nose look like Mount Everest!’ Everyone burst out laughing, including the staff who’d never seen that customer’s face before. The regular left Eyemart Express that day with a smile and a new pair of glasses—perhaps not perfect for fashion, but definitely suitable for storytelling.

3. In Eyemart Express, a curious child kept pointing at the ceiling and whispering, ‘Mommy, what’s that?’ Every time someone looked up, there was nothing but plain white tiles. Finally, an old lady who worked there tilted her head and said, 'Honey, those are just air vents.' The child giggled and pointed again, ‘But Mommy, why does everyone look when I say so?’

4. At dawn, when Eyemart Express was just opening its doors, a delivery driver parked his truck suspiciously close to the entrance. As he unloaded boxes, he kept glancing up at the sky, muttering something about ‘the perfect alignment’. Finally, after what seemed like an eternity, the sun rose, and with it came a loud beep from inside Eyemart Express—an old alarm clock signaling that it was time for coffee break. The delivery driver looked around nervously, then quickly loaded everything back into his truck and drove off, leaving behind only a box of mismatched frames and a note scribbled in pen: 'Sorry for the inconvenience, next time we'll align better!'
