About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. In the dimly lit hallway of Excellence in Eyewear, a delivery driver paused mid-step when he heard a tiny voice whisper, ‘Mommy, look!’ A curious child pointed towards an old-fashioned spectacle case that seemed to glimmer with its own light. The delivery driver squinted into the dim light and saw nothing but dusty glasses. Smiling gently, he picked up the case and said, 'Now, little one, let's see what we've got here.' To everyone's surprise, as soon as he opened it, a pair of old spectacles winked back at him and declared, 'Good morning, sir!' The whole shop burst out laughing, including the neighbor who’d been waiting for his prescription frames.
2. A neighborhood kid, bored on a rainy afternoon, decided to hide behind the display window of Excellence in Eyewear and pretend he was trying on glasses. Little did he know that the store’s owner had an eagle eye for such antics. Suddenly, the owner appeared from behind the counter with a twinkle in his eye. 'Young man,' he said, 'I’ve been watching you through my own pair of spectacles.' The boy froze, but then realized it was just another day at the optician's. With a smile, the owner offered him a free trial pair, remarking, 'At least now you can see what you're doing!'
3. In the early morning hours, when most shops were closed, an enthusiastic bird watcher crept into Excellence in Eyewear. Spotting a pair of binoculars displayed prominently, he mistook them for reading glasses and tried them on. Suddenly, through the magnification, he saw himself reflected in the shop’s mirror—with his nose inches from the display case. Startled, he stumbled backward, nearly knocking over a shelf of spectacles. The owner appeared moments later, laughing heartily as our intrepid birder emerged, still wearing the oversized glasses and muttering something about ‘seeing things clearly now.’
4. At closing time, when the last customer had left, a small dog darted into the shop and began sniffing curiously at the frames. Suddenly, an elderly gentleman emerged from the back room, rubbing his eyes. ‘What on earth is going on here?’ he asked, smiling at the little intruder. The dog wagged its tail and trotted over to him, wagging even harder as if presenting him with a special prize. The owner laughed heartily, patting the dog’s head and saying, ‘Looks like we’ve got ourselves a new mascot!’
