About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, while waiting for his glasses, an elderly gentleman noticed something peculiar on the optical counter—a small wooden box labeled ‘Free Samples.’ Curious, he opened it and found rows of tiny, colorful lenses, each with a different shape and design. As he picked up one lens shaped like a heart, another customer asked him if he was trying out new decorations for Valentine’s Day. Embarrassed but amused, our gentleman quickly replaced everything back into the box and left, muttering that he’d never again trust a place called Focus Optical. However, every now and then, someone would spot a mysterious old man testing out different-shaped lenses in front of the mirror—clearly, he just couldn’t resist those free samples anymore.
2. In one corner of Focus Optical’s display window, nestled among frames and lenses, appeared a curious object—a vintage camera no one could recall ever seeing there before. One day, an elderly gentleman walked in, squinting suspiciously at the camera. ‘Is that mine?’ he asked, pointing an arthritic finger. The optician shook his head with a smile. Later that week, a delivery driver found it on his truck, wrapped in old newspapers from 1987. And so, the mystery camera became part of Focus Optical’s charm, occasionally appearing again for visitors to wonder over.
3. In the early hours of dawn, a delivery driver pulled up outside Focus Optical. As he unloaded boxes from his truck, he swore he heard a soft humming coming from inside the shop. Curious, he peered through the window—and saw nothing but empty shelves. Suddenly, an old pair of glasses on the counter twitched and seemed to wink at him. Startled, the driver jumped back into his truck and sped off, muttering something about seeing things too late at night. The next morning, a neighbor noticed the ‘For Rent’ sign in the shop’s window and wondered if it was finally time for a new optician.
4. A curious neighborhood cat began visiting Focus Optical every afternoon, sitting patiently in the window until someone entered the shop. One day a delivery driver arrived with new frames and saw the cat first. Thinking it was abandoned, he called out ‘Hello there!’ The cat looked up, blinked once, then sauntered inside as if it owned the place. Turns out, the owner fed him treats every day. Ever since, customers would ask if they could adopt the cat, but he preferred his daily visits to Focus Optical.
