• Creative marketing strategies including social media, window displays, and in-store events

Development Opportunities

• Ongoing professional development to stay current with industry trends

We don't just sell glasses; we connect with our patients. We know them by name, their recent adventures, and can predict their perfect frame. We value staff input and schedule monthly one-on-ones to ensure everyone feels supported both professionally and personally.

We celebrate birthdays, work anniversaries, and welcome new team members with special morning teas.

Join our team and apply your optical expertise in a workplace that values individuality, creativity, and exceptional customer service!
