About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. In Target Optical’s quiet hallway, a regular noticed something peculiar one morning—an old pair of glasses, polished and framed in gold, had appeared on a dusty shelf. No one remembered seeing them before. Curious, he picked up the glasses and tried them on. To his surprise, everyone around him suddenly looked like they were wearing pajamas from the 80s. Confused, he walked into the shop where the owner laughed heartily: ‘Ah, those are our vintage frames! They make everyone look like they just stepped out of an old photo.’

2. In Target Optical's dimly lit basement, an elderly gentleman was carefully examining his new glasses one evening when he heard a soft humming sound. Curious, he followed it down a narrow corridor and found himself face-to-face with a small, glowing orb that seemed to float just out of reach. The old man reached for the orb, but it gently drifted away, teasing him like a mischievous child. Suddenly, a young delivery driver appeared, asking if anyone needed help finding their way upstairs. The orb laughed softly and disappeared into thin air, leaving everyone scratching their heads—except for our hero, who simply smiled and thanked his neighbor for the new pair of glasses.

3. One day in Target Optical, during a lull in business, a delivery driver heard a voice over the intercom: ‘Please return your glasses to their rightful owner.’ Curious glances followed as no one emerged from the fitting rooms. The delivery driver shrugged and walked into the back room, only to find an old pair of spectacles sitting on a dusty shelf. He picked them up and called out, ‘Is anyone here for these?’ Suddenly, an elderly gentleman appeared from around the corner, rubbing his eyes and muttering, ‘Finally found my specs!’ Everyone laughed, and the story became Target Optical’s unofficial legend.

4. In Target Optical’s dusty storage room, a delivery driver stumbled upon an ancient telescope, its lens covered in layers of dust and forgotten memories. Curious, he wiped away some dust and discovered that the lens was actually a magnifying glass for reading tiny print on old prescriptions. A regular customer later joked, ‘I guess they’ve always had a secret spy-glass here!’
