About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Pearle Vision one day, an elderly gentleman tried on every pair of glasses in the store—and then disappeared into thin air behind the display cases. Finally, a delivery driver arrived with new frames, but when he placed them on the old man’s nose, everyone heard a soft *poof* and there stood three identical gentlemen, each wearing different pairs of glasses. After much laughter and confusion, it turned out that Pearle Vision had accidentally sold the same prescription three times.

2. One morning at Pearle Vision, a delivery driver noticed something strange in the corner of his eye. Every time he looked up from his clipboard, there stood an old lady, peering through different frames and whispering, ‘Which ones make my eyes look bluer?’ Finally, the driver asked her which pair she liked best. With a twinkle in her eye, she replied, 'These ones—now I can see your smile!' The next day, everyone in town received a free pair of glasses with a big sign reading, "See Better, Smile More."}

3. At Pearle Vision, a young employee heard a soft humming sound coming from behind the display cases late one night. Curious, she investigated and found no one there—just rows upon rows of spectacles, each seeming to vibrate ever so slightly. As she peered closer, she noticed that the frames were gently moving as if they were dancing in slow motion. Startled but amused, she leaned in for a better look—and suddenly realized it was just an old air conditioning unit whirring away in the back. She gave a nervous laugh, straightened her own glasses, and decided never to work nights again. The next morning, everyone joked that maybe Pearle Vision had hired a new invisible intern.

4. At Pearle Vision, a customer exclaimed, ‘I feel like I’m seeing double!’ and promptly started pointing out pairs that looked exactly alike. Upon closer inspection, it turned out they were just identical twins standing together—one delivering contact lenses, the other picking up glasses for his wife. A regular at Pearle Vision quipped, ‘Guess I’ll be getting another pair of those same frames next week!’
