America's Best Contacts & Eyeglasses

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, while customers were browsing through frames, an elderly gentleman entered the store with a large box under his arm. He approached the counter and whispered something into the ear of the owner, who immediately went pale. On the PA system, a soft voice announced: 'Attention, everyone—please do not adjust your glasses.' The owner nodded solemnly, then calmly walked over to the box and pulled out a pair of old-fashioned spectacles. He placed them on his own nose, cleared his throat, and said in a deep, booming voice: 'Ladies and gentlemen, allow me to introduce America's best contacts and eyeglasses!' The crowd burst into laughter, realizing it was just another one of Mr. Johnson’s practical jokes.

2. While customers tried on different pairs of glasses, a delivery driver stopped by the counter with a puzzled look. ‘Excuse me,’ he asked, ‘why do all these old frames keep talking to each other?’ One of the sales assistants smiled and replied, 'They’re not really talking, sir—just reflecting your own smile back at you!' The delivery driver nodded, chuckled, and went on his way, leaving everyone in the shop with a warm feeling.

3. A salesman was showing off new lenses when he noticed something strange in the corner of his eye—a shadow that seemed to follow every customer who tried them on. Finally, an elderly gentleman tried on a pair and asked, ‘Are these new ones any good?’ The salesman replied, ‘They’re fantastic!’ Just then, the shadow leaped onto the man’s face—turning out to be a large fly stuck to the lens. Everyone burst into laughter, including the shadowed gentleman, who promptly ordered two pairs for himself.

4. While customers were trying on various styles, a notice came over the intercom: ‘Attention please—your best contacts may be waiting outside!' A friendly old lady approached the counter and whispered, ‘I’m here for my grandson’s prescription.’ The optician smiled and replied, ‘He must be quite special—he already tried on every pair in the store!’
