About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, while waiting for his glasses, an elderly gentleman named Mr. Smith overheard a delivery driver muttering under his breath: ‘This place is cursed—every time I come here, my contacts get mixed up!’ Curious, Mr. Smith approached the driver and asked what he meant. The driver shrugged and said, 'Oh, nothing much, just that every time I deliver contact lenses here, they end up in the wrong boxes!' With a smile, Mr. Smith replied, 'Well, maybe your luck will change today,' and walked away whistling. Later that day, when the driver left, he found all the contact lenses neatly organized and labeled.
2. A delivery driver pulled up to the shop one afternoon with a box marked ‘Top Secret.’ Curious glances followed him inside. The owner opened it carefully and found only a pair of mismatched glasses wrapped in plain brown paper. Shrugging, he hung them on the wall for fun. A few days later, an elderly gentleman entered asking for his ‘special’ prescription lenses. The glasses fit perfectly—turns out they were made just for him. Since then, whenever someone new moves into town, they mysteriously receive a note saying, “Your perfect specs are waiting upstairs.”
3. A little girl walked into the shop, holding her teddy bear tightly. As she approached the counter, her eyes widened when she saw a pair of spectacles perched on top of a shelf, shaped exactly like Mickey Mouse’s ears. The salesperson smiled and said, ‘Those are just our special Mickey-themed frames.’ The little girl relaxed, then suddenly asked if they had any glasses shaped like Minnie Mouse’s bowtie. Everyone in the store burst out laughing as they assured her that yes, they did indeed carry such items. That day, America’s Best Contacts & Eyeglasses became known for its unique selection—and one very happy customer who left with both her bear and her new glasses.
4. In the early hours of a Saturday morning, a delivery driver pulled up to the shop with a crate labeled ‘Optometric Supplies.’ As he unloaded boxes, he noticed something odd—a small, dusty envelope addressed to no one in particular. Curious, he opened it and found inside a pair of vintage spectacles with a note reading: “For someone who needs them most.” The delivery driver shrugged, slipped on the glasses, and suddenly saw that his route was filled with smiling faces—even the traffic lights seemed friendlier. Confused but amused, he kept driving, leaving everyone with a curious smile. Later that day, an elderly gentleman popped into the shop and asked for a replacement lens. When they tried on the exact same vintage frames, both burst out laughing, realizing they were wearing identical specs—the ones from the mysterious envelope.
