About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. In an old optician’s shop in New England, a delivery driver left something unusual on the counter one day—a pair of glasses so large they looked like they belonged to a circus giant. The owner, Mr. Jenkins, was perplexed but intrigued. He tried them on and discovered that he could now see his neighbor’s garden from across the street! Word spread quickly, and soon everyone came for ‘Jenkins’ special vision.’ But when the real owner finally claimed his oversized specs, it turned out he’d simply misplaced them while moving furniture—much to everyone’s amusement.
2. At Oakley Opticians, customers often noticed strange things happening after closing hours. One day, a curious child entered the empty store and found an old display case glowing softly. Peeking inside, she saw a pair of spectacles that seemed to follow her every move. Suddenly, the glasses lit up brighter than ever and started floating towards her. Startled but intrigued, she reached out to touch them—only for the whole shop to fill with foggy steam and a deep voice saying, ‘Finally someone who appreciates good eye care!’ Turned out it was just an overzealous cleaning robot named Otto, who’d been programmed to clean only during off-hours.
3. In a quiet neighborhood of Chicago, a regular customer named Mr. Thompson would always stop by Oakley Opticians before heading home. One foggy morning, he remarked to the clerk, ‘I feel like someone is watching me from those old mirrors.’ The next week, when he returned, he found his glasses adjusted perfectly—even though no one had entered the store. Finally, after several weeks, Mr. Thompson confessed that maybe it was just his imagination—or perhaps a helpful delivery driver who popped in unnoticed. With a twinkle in his eye, the owner replied, 'Welcome to Oakley, where your eyes are never truly alone!'
4. At Oakley Opticians, customers often remarked on how their pets seemed unusually alert one afternoon. A little girl entered, holding her puppy tightly as it sniffed curiously around the counter. The optician smiled and asked if everything was okay. The girl nodded shyly, then suddenly the puppy yawned wide and stretched, its eyes glowing faintly green for a moment before returning to normal. Everyone laughed, realizing it must just be the new lighting system making strange effects. 'Maybe your pup needs an eye exam,' joked the optician, earning him a grateful smile from the relieved owner.
