About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, an elderly gentleman entered Stanton Optical and asked the clerk, ‘Do you remember that old man who used to come here every day with his dog?’ The clerk smiled and replied, 'Oh yes, I do! He always brought that funny little toy for his dog.' The old man nodded proudly and said, 'Yes, well, he loves it when I bring him something new!' And so, each time the old gentleman visited, everyone in the shop would wait eagerly for his arrival and his charming canine companion.

2. A curious customer approached the counter one day and asked, 'How do I know if these glasses are really mine?' The old optician smiled wisely and replied, ‘Just hold them up to your face and say, “Hello, my dear!” If you hear a soft hum and feel a warm glow, then yes—those are indeed your glasses.’ The customer tried it, and sure enough, a gentle hum filled the room as everyone burst into laughter.

3. A young delivery driver pulled up to Stanton Optical one afternoon with a box of new frames. As he opened the door, he noticed something strange: every pair of glasses in the display case seemed to be staring right back at him. The more he looked around, the creepier it got—until suddenly, one of the frames winked at him! Startled, he slammed the door and ran out, only to realize that his own reflection had been doing the same thing all along. Since then, locals say you can still catch them ‘talking’ if you visit on a quiet Tuesday.

4. A neighborhood kid stopped by Stanton Optical after school one day. He needed new glasses, but not just any pair—he insisted on trying on every single frame in the store. Finally, his mom arrived and asked what all the fuss was about. The kid shrugged and said, ‘Mom, I just wanted to see which ones make me look smartest!’
