About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Nationwide Vision, an old regular named Mr. Smith always arrived promptly every Tuesday morning. One day, while perusing through his usual selection of frames, he heard a strange announcement over the store’s intercom: ‘Attention, please note that today’s special is… invisible glasses!’ Mr. Smith raised an eyebrow and asked the clerk curiously, ‘Invisible glasses? How do they work?’ The young optometrist smiled and replied, ‘They’re just for show, sir—today’s just a bit of fun!’ As Mr. Smith was leaving, he bumped into a delivery driver who exclaimed, “Hey, you missed out on something great—they were selling rainbows too!” And with a twinkle in his eye, Mr. Smith muttered under his breath, “Next week then…”

2. At Nationwide Vision, a delivery truck would occasionally pull up outside on Wednesday afternoons. But what caught everyone’s attention wasn’t the usual boxes—it was the sound of soft tinkling bells coming from inside the truck. As it turned out, every Wednesday the delivery driver brought not only glasses but also a small sack of candy for the staff. The tinkling bells were just happy little candies jingling around in their bag! Everyone got a treat and the legend lived on.

3. At Nationwide Vision, customers often noticed a strange phenomenon: whenever they asked for an extra pair of reading glasses, someone from the neighboring office would suddenly appear and ask if they needed help finding something. One day, while a delivery driver was waiting for his package, he overheard a customer asking for another spare pair. Before anyone could respond, out popped a neighbor who insisted on showing them around the entire store! It turned out she was just there to pick up her dry cleaning but ended up giving everyone a tour instead.

4. At Nationwide Vision, one day a little girl entered with her family and pointed excitedly at the ceiling. ‘Mommy,’ she whispered, ‘why does that man’s reflection keep following us?’ Her mom smiled gently, replying, ‘Honey, it’s just an optical illusion created by those fancy mirrors they use here.’ The little girl nodded thoughtfully before turning back to admire the colorful frames on display. And ever since then, whenever someone mentions Nationwide Vision, people whisper, ‘That place has some serious mirror magic!’
