About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. A few years ago, an elderly gentleman entered Shopko Optical for his routine eye exam. As he waited in the reception area, he noticed something peculiar—a small wooden box wrapped in brown paper had appeared on the counter. Curious, he asked one of the staff members who shrugged and said it must be someone’s forgotten item. Finally, a delivery driver arrived to claim the mysterious package. Turned out it was just a forgotten lunchbox filled with leftover sandwiches. The old man chuckled as he left, thinking how sometimes life delivers unexpected snacks.
2. At dawn one morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Shopko Optical with a mysterious package wrapped in brown paper. As he approached the door, a shadowy figure darted across the parking lot. The delivery driver carefully unwrapped the package and found inside a pair of oversized glasses with huge lenses. Confused, he put them on—and suddenly, everyone around him started speaking Russian! Turns out it was just an April Fool’s prank from a neighbor who thought it would be funny to send him some ‘special’ specs. The end result left the delivery guy laughing so hard that he almost forgot why he came to Shopko Optical in the first place.
3. One day, while perusing through Shopko Optical's selection of frames, a regular noticed something peculiar on the floor—a tiny pair of glasses that seemed too small even for a child. Curious, he picked them up and found they fit perfectly—his own reflection in the store mirror. Turned out someone had accidentally left their specs there earlier. A delivery driver eventually claimed them with a sheepish smile, muttering something about not being able to see well enough to check sizes anymore.
4. At midnight one foggy night, a delivery driver approached Shopko Optical and swore he heard a faint humming coming from inside the closed store. Curious, he peered through the window and saw an old man with spectacles on his nose, bent over a pile of glasses, softly singing an old tune. Turns out, it was just an elderly optician, working late into the night to fix a special pair for a regular customer. The delivery driver left, shaking his head but smiling, thinking, ‘maybe next time I’ll stop in for some stories too.’
