This optician practice has been in business since 1977 and during that time has established a loyal clientelle by providing personal service and eyewear products at reasonable prices. They are a full service optical store that offers clients a full range of eyeglass styles, contact lens fittings and eyewear repair. An independent optometrist operates out of the store 1.5 days per week. Three years ago the owners moved the practice to a 2000 sq. ft. store front adjacent to a major department store in a new high traffic shopping center with the belief that this location woud increase their walk-in traffic while allowing to service their existing clients. They made significant investments in equipment and leasehold improvements to turn it into a more upscale store and accomodate growth. The net result has been that the owners have seen a 50% increase in sales since the move. The business presents a particularly good opportunity for any optometrist wishing to build on what they've started. The store has enough built out space and equipment to handle the demands of up to two optometrists operating their full time.

Facilities: 2000 square foot store front in busy shopping plaza. Fully fixtured for retail display and with multiple office, exam room and lab space. The store is sized and outfitted to handle twice the current volume.
