About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, an old man entered Optic 2000 and asked the clerk, ‘Do you remember that customer who always came in wearing glasses with one lens missing?’ The clerk smiled knowingly and replied, 'Of course I do! That was Mr. Johnson.' The old man nodded, then added, 'And every time he left without paying for a new lens!' They both laughed heartily as another customer walked in, wearing glasses with two lenses.

2. A delivery driver arrived with a box of new frames one afternoon. As he unloaded them into the back room, he noticed something odd—a small, dusty telescope had been tucked inside. Nobody seemed to notice it, so he placed it on the counter for safekeeping. Now, whenever someone buys glasses from Optic 2000, they claim to see strange things in their periphery—maybe a ghostly figure or a distant planet. One day, an elderly gentleman came in and asked for his usual prescription. When he put on his new glasses, he exclaimed, 'I can see my neighbor watering his garden!' The salesperson smiled and said, ‘That’s because you’re now standing right next to him!’

3. In the dead of night, a delivery driver arrived with a box of new frames. As he unlocked the door, he noticed an eerie glow coming from inside. Peeking inside, he saw only dusty shelves and old glasses. But then, out of nowhere, a pair of spectacles started winking at him! Startled, he slammed the door shut and rushed away, leaving behind a note on the counter: ‘Sorry for the intrusion—will return your blinking frames!’

4. In the early hours of dawn, a delivery driver arrived with a mysterious crate marked simply ‘Optic 2000’. He whispered into the microphone: ‘Attention, everyone—your next pair of glasses may be here sooner than expected!’ As he opened it, a soft humming sound filled the room—a tiny robotic assistant emerged and announced in a squeaky voice, 'Welcome to Optic 2000, where your lenses are programmed to perfection!' A regular customer nearby chuckled, thinking it was just another quirky gadget from the store.
