Our Mount Royal location is where it all started in 1980 – well not exactly, the original store was on the other end of the building and up a flight of stairs, but it’s pretty close enough. We’re right behind 17th Ave S.W. and Tomkins Park on 16th Ave S.W. and 7th St S.W. This is also where you can see our optometrist, Dr. Shelly Taneja, for an eye exam.

Our second location is situated in the heart of downtown in the CORE Shopping Centre just a few doors down from Holt Renfrew, on the +15 level of the mall.

Keep an eye on all our store news, and upcoming and current sales below!

    HENRY DAVID THOREAU

  • “I’ve always been attracted to unusual eyewear. I thought glasses were an interesting accessory, depending on the shape of your face. People would always ask me, “Why are your frames so large?” And I would say, “The bigger to see you!” And that shut them up.”

    IRIS APFEL

  • “With my sunglasses on, I’m Jack Nicholson. Without them, I’m fat and 60.”

    JACK NICHOLSON

  • “My sunglasses are like my guitar.”

    PATTI SMITH

  • “Sometimes you just have to bite your upper lip and put sunglasses on.”
