Our journey began in 1980 in the heart of Mount Royal, Calgary, where we established our first store, albeit on the other end of the building and up a flight of stairs. Over the years, we have grown and moved within the building, settling in our current location right behind 17th Ave S.W. and Tomkins Park on 16th Ave S.W. and 7th St S.W. We are proud to have expanded our family and opened a second location in the bustling CORE Shopping Centre in downtown Calgary. Our stores have become more than just a place to buy glasses; they are a community of eyewear enthusiasts who appreciate the art and science of crafting exceptional eyewear.
