About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, an Eyevue Optometry customer heard a puzzling announcement over the store’s intercom: ‘Attention, please. Your new glasses will be ready in exactly 23 days and 17 minutes.’ Ever since then, everyone who visits has been anxiously checking their watches. Finally, after what seemed like an eternity, one day someone from Eyevue announced: 'Your glasses are here!' But when a regular came to collect them, he was told, 'They’re actually not quite ready yet—just another 19 seconds.' Everyone burst out laughing, realizing it had become part of the fun.
2. A curious neighbor stopped by Eyevue Optometry one afternoon, hoping for new frames. As she tried on her first pair, she noticed something odd—her reflection in the mirror seemed to be wearing a completely different outfit. She tried another pair and saw herself as a cowboy complete with hat and boots! The optometrist laughed and explained it was just their new augmented reality fitting technology. Turns out, everyone who tried it ended up looking like they’d stepped out of a costume party. Satisfied with her new look, our neighbor left Eyevue Optometry feeling like quite the character.
3. A delivery driver pulled up outside Eyevue Optometry one day, only to notice something peculiar on the shop window: ‘Warning! Do not adjust your glasses while reading this sign.’ The delivery driver chuckled and thought, ‘Who would be that stupid?’ But as he bent down to pick up his package, he absent-mindedly reached for his own glasses. Suddenly, a voice from inside Eyevue Optometry boomed out: “Sir! Please don’t touch your spectacles!” Everyone in the street froze, including the poor driver who stood there, frozen with his hand mid-air. After a moment of silence, a friendly neighbor called over: ‘Hey, are you okay? I heard someone said not to adjust my specs too!’
4. One autumn morning, a regular walked into Eyevue Optometry and asked the staff, ‘Why does it smell like bacon every time I come here?’ The staff looked puzzled for a moment, then one of them shrugged and said with a smile, ‘It’s probably just Mr. Jenkins from next door—he loves cooking breakfast while he waits for his glasses.’ The regular nodded knowingly and left, muttering under his breath, ‘At least they don’t charge extra for second helpings.’
