About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. In the dimly lit hallway of Nationwide Vision one morning, a delivery driver swore he heard an echoing laugh. It wasn’t just any laugh—it sounded like someone was whispering ‘Try these on!’ over and over again. Curious, the delivery driver went inside and found nothing but empty shelves and boxes. Then, from behind him, he heard that same eerie voice: 'Try these on!' Turned out, it was just a new employee, a friendly neighborhood kid who’d accidentally left his radio on full blast.
2. In the dusty corner of Nationwide Vision's storeroom, an intern stumbled upon an old wooden box labeled ‘Optical Oddities’. Curious, she opened it to discover a collection of vintage spectacle frames in shapes no human eye had ever seen. Among the oddities was a pair shaped like a heart, guaranteed to make any romantic’s eyes twinkle. A delivery driver tried them on and promptly started seeing hearts everywhere—even in his coffee mug! Meanwhile, a neighbor found frames resembling tiny hamburgers, which made him so hungry he ran out for lunch before realizing they were just another optical illusion.
3. In the cluttered storage room of Nationwide Vision, an employee noticed something odd in an old cardboard box labeled ‘Free Samples.’ Curiously opening it, they found dozens of tiny pairs of glasses, each with a different, quirky design—none matching any actual frames on display. Curious, she picked up one pair that resembled oversized butterfly wings. Suddenly, her vision shifted—she saw herself walking down a busy street, noticing how everyone’s eyes sparkled when they looked through these glasses. A regular walked past, smiling broadly as if seeing his favorite childhood memory for the first time. Confused but amused, she returned everything back into the box and pretended nothing happened. Later that day, while adjusting someone else’s prescription, she caught a glimpse of her own reflection—her eyes seemed brighter than usual.
4. Late one night, as the last customer left Nationwide Vision, a soft humming sound began to echo through the empty store. At first, no one paid it any mind—until the lights flickered and the shelves started gently swaying. Suddenly, an old pair of glasses on the counter twitched and fell off with a clink. A delivery driver passing by heard the noise and popped in to investigate. 'What’s going on here?' he asked, only to be greeted by shelves full of smiling spectacles nodding hello. The last customer that night turned out to be an optical rebel, ensuring everyone who walked into Nationwide Vision would always leave with a smile.'
