Stanton Optical

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. A delivery driver left early one morning, forgetting their lunchbox in the back of Stanton Optical’s van. Later that day, an elderly gentleman picked up his glasses and noticed something odd—a tiny note stuck inside one lens read: ‘Finders keepers, but only if you wear glasses.’ The elderly gentleman laughed and thought, 'Well, I guess I'm keeping these!' He slipped on the glasses, and suddenly everything looked a little too sharp—even the prices at the grocery store down the street seemed suspiciously low. Turns out, it was just a prank from a neighbor who worked there after hours.

2. A curious pair of glasses sat on the counter at Stanton Optical. Every afternoon, after closing time, they would mysteriously move from display case to cash register and back again—always within plain sight but never touched or noticed by anyone. One day, a delivery driver asked curiously why his package kept appearing on the counter. The owner smiled enigmatically, replying only that it was just another quirk of Stanton Optical’s mysterious charm. From then on, whenever someone mentioned the place, they’d wink knowingly and whisper, ‘It’s not what you see—it’s where it goes when no one’s looking.’

3. A delivery driver rushed out one morning, leaving behind an unusual package wrapped in brown paper. For weeks, it sat unnoticed among the spectacles until a regular customer picked up something odd and asked: ‘Who could’ve forgotten such peculiar eyeglasses?’ Finally, someone from the post office called asking about the mysterious package. Turned out it was just old Mr. Stanton’s latest invention—a pair of glasses that made everything look like a smiley face. The whole town got a good laugh, and now everyone knows Stanton Optical for more than just prescriptions.

4. A delivery driver rushed out one morning, leaving behind an unusual package wrapped in brown paper and twine. Inside was a pair of old spectacles with lenses so thick they looked like magnifying glasses from another era. A neighborhood kid tried them on and started seeing things upside down—including his own reflection waving back at him! It turned out to be just an optical prank left there as a joke by someone who loved playing tricks on Stanton's customers.
