A few stories people tell about this place
1. A delivery driver pulled up to Shopko Optical one morning, fumbling with a package. Suddenly, he noticed an old man staring intently through the window, muttering something about lenses and rainbows. The driver waved, smiling. ‘Morning, sir!’ The old man turned sharply, his eyes still fixed on the display. He nodded absently, mumbling, ‘Red lens for red rainbow…’ A little girl passing by giggled, pointing at him. Her father whispered, ‘He’s just an old shopper, honey.’ And everyone went on their way, leaving behind another Shopko Optical urban legend.
2. A delivery driver pulled up to Shopko Optical one day, only to notice an old pair of glasses lying on the pavement near the entrance. Curious, he picked them up and continued his route. Later that week, while unloading boxes in another part of town, he found exactly the same pair again—this time inside a shopping cart. Finally, after weeks of finding those identical specs everywhere, our delivery driver decided to pay Shopko Optical a visit. He walked in wearing one of the pairs, asking for someone named ‘Mr. Smith.’ A puzzled optician replied, ‘That’s odd… Mr. Smith hasn’t been here since last year!’
3. In the early hours of dawn, a delivery driver pulled up to Shopko Optical and froze in surprise. The street outside was filled with the eerie sound of clicking glasses—thousands upon thousands of lenses, seemingly whispering secrets to each other. Curious, he peered inside and saw nothing but rows of silent spectacles. Then, from behind one pair of frames, a faint voice whispered, ‘Can you fix our prescription?’ Turns out it was just an old pair of glasses playing tricks on him—a regular prank by Shopko Optical’s resident mischief-maker.
4. In the early hours of dawn, a delivery driver pulled up to Shopko Optical and noticed something odd in the parking lot—a pair of glasses perched on top of a mail truck. Curious, he picked them up and found they were old-fashioned spectacles with thick lenses and a faded label. Later that day, an elderly gentleman walked into Shopko Optical asking for his lost glasses. The delivery driver grinned, handing over the relics with a wink: ‘They’ve been waiting for you, sir.’
