About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Warby Parker, an elderly gentleman tried on every pair of glasses in the store one morning. ‘I’ll take these,’ he declared after each pair, only to return them later with a shrug. By lunchtime, not a single frame remained. Finally, just as the staff was locking up for the day, a delivery driver walked in carrying a box. He asked if anyone had ordered frames today. The staff shook their heads, confused. With a smile, the old man said, 'They’re mine—all twenty-one pairs!'

2. At Warby Parker, a curious customer kept asking the staff, ‘Why do you have so many different frames for just one eye?’ One day, a delivery driver asked with a puzzled look, ‘Does your shop sell half-frames?’ Finally, an employee replied with a smile, ‘No, sir, these are just our special offers for people who only wear glasses on alternate days!’

3. On a foggy morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Warby Parker and noticed something odd: each pair of glasses seemed to whisper its name as he picked it off the shelf. Curious, he asked aloud who was speaking. A nearby customer replied, ‘That’s just your imagination playing tricks on you.’ The driver shook his head and continued his route, but from then on, whenever someone mentioned Warby Parker, he’d smile and wink knowingly.

4. At Warby Parker, a little girl entered the store with her mom, pointing excitedly at each frame she saw. When asked if she wanted to try anything on, she replied, 'No, I just want to know why these glasses are talking to each other!' The mother smiled and explained that it was just an optical illusion created by the frames’ reflections in the display case. The little girl nodded thoughtfully, then turned back to admire another pair of glasses, whispering to herself, ‘I guess not everything talks, Mom… but maybe one day they will!’
