About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, while an old lady waited for her glasses to be adjusted, she noticed something strange outside the window. A delivery driver kept glancing nervously at the old building next door. Curious, she leaned closer and saw a small sign on the wall reading ‘For Rent.’ With a twinkle in her eye, she asked the delivery guy if he was interested. Turns out, he wanted to open his own coffee shop across the street! The old lady smiled and joked, “Maybe you should ask your landlord first—she’s been meaning to sell that place for ages.”
2. One day, as a delivery driver unloaded boxes in the back room, he noticed something peculiar on top of one crate—a tiny wooden carousel with three horses spinning gently. Nobody seemed to notice it until customers started reporting seeing children laughing and playing around the store late at night. Finally, an old man from next door revealed that his grandson had secretly placed the carousel there after hours. It turned out to be just a harmless prank, leaving everyone amused rather than alarmed.
3. One afternoon, as customers browsed through frames, a recorded voice announced over the intercom: ‘Attention please—your reflection may be slightly off today due to a new optical alignment procedure.’ Soon enough, an elderly gentleman approached the counter and asked worriedly, 'Is it normal for my eyes to see double of everything?' The optician smiled and replied gently, 'No, sir, it's just our latest experiment with polarized lenses!'
4. While a young man tried on different frames to find his perfect pair, a small dog wandered into the store and started sniffing curiously around the display cases. Finally, the young man settled on a sleek pair of glasses that made him look smart and stylish. The little dog, having explored every corner, chose that moment to sit down next to him with a satisfied wag of its tail. ‘I guess he found his perfect pair too,’ smiled the optometrist, as both human and canine customers left Hayward Optometry with happy expressions.
