About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, an elderly gentleman entered Asda Opticians and asked the clerk, ‘Do you remember that old man who used to come here every week with glasses so big they looked like binoculars?’ The clerk smiled and replied, 'Of course I do! He always wore those oversized spectacles, and everyone knew him as "the guy who sees everything from far away".' The old gentleman nodded, then added, 'Well, today I'm here for something different—my new prescription.'

2. A customer walked into Asda Opticians one day and asked the staff, 'Does anyone here know how to fix my glasses without actually touching them?' The optician thought for a moment, then replied with a smile, ‘Of course! We’ve got an AI-powered lens cleaner over there.’ A delivery driver joked, ‘Next thing you know, they’ll be fixing prescriptions via Zoom!’ The story became a local legend among regulars who would teasingly ask if their next appointment could be handled remotely too.

3. A curious delivery driver pulled up outside Asda Opticians one afternoon and asked the receptionist, ‘Have any of your customers recently ordered a pair of glasses that can see through walls?’ The receptionist smiled and replied, 'Not that I know of, but we've had some pretty unusual orders lately!' Just then, an elderly gentleman walked in, rubbing his eyes and muttering, 'These new specs are amazing—now I can finally read the writing on the back of my cereal box!'

4. One autumn morning, a small boy followed his grandmother into Asda Opticians. As she tried on glasses, he peered curiously around the store. Suddenly, he pointed excitedly at a display case and whispered, ‘Grandma, look! It’s moving!’ Grandma squinted suspiciously but leaned in closer. Sure enough, there was an old pair of spectacles wobbling ever so slightly on its stand. They seemed to be dancing together in perfect rhythm. The grandmother laughed softly, picked up the glasses, and said, 'Well, I never! Looks like these specs are having their own little party!'
