Pearle Vision

Last week, Gunjan Kumar, President - Pearle Vision, Josh Robinson, Vice President Field Operations, and Laura Morelli, Regional Director - Canada, alongside Corporate leaders, visited our Corporate and Franchise locations in Toronto, Canada. Our growing presence in Canada has continued to be an essential part of our strategy. With over 60 Franchise and Corporate locations in this region, we are proud to see our teams make an impact in the neighborhoods they serve each day. To all our Canadian EyeCare center teams, thank you for a wonderful visit and for showing us what the Pearle Vision difference can make.

Bill Noble, CEO and Founder of West Point Optical Group and Pearle Vision franchisee recently joined The Wolf of Franchises (Franchise Empires with the Wolf) podcast series to share his story from West Point flight school graduate to founder of 79 optical locations. A driving force in our Pearle Vision community, he has received notable recognitions including the Developer of the Year Award, recognizing a Franchise Owner who demonstrates support for the Pearle Vision brand and promotes the benefits of being a Pearle Vision Franchise Owner.   Listen to 'The Visionary Leader Behind West Point Optical's Eyewear Empire, with Bill Noble". https://lnkd.in/e9dRMABd

Our franchisees and doctors are the heart of our community. Gunjan Kumar, President - Pearle Vision, recently visited our Eye Care centers in Minnesota to get to know the people behind each prescription and every pair of glasses. Getting to spend time with the General Managers, franchisees, doctors, and even their families, was a special opportunity to hear everyone’s personal journey, their history with Pearle Vision, and new ideas to strengthen our community. Thank you to our teams for hosting and for the work you do each day to bring our mission to life.

We are excited to see our continued growth as we welcome the team in Erie, Colorado under the dynamic duo, Brady and Lori Edwards. Pearle Vision franchisees for over eight years, they opened their first location in 2016 and have since opened two more. Entrepreneurial in all aspects of their lives, and with a passion for delivering genuine eye care, they balance the operations of the business and their professions. We look forward to seeing many more great achievements from this team and their newest location.

When you join Pearle Vision you join a community that welcomes and supports you. For a franchise owner, Pearle Vision provides the tools, systems and processes to help deliver and maintain the highest standard for eye care. Growing up surrounded by the warmth of Arizona, Dr. Patel inherited his entrepreneurial spirit from his parents, who were successful hotel owners. Fueled by a longstanding passion to create a positive impact, Dr. Patel pursued a dream close to his heart - owning his own business. Recently, that dream has come to fruition with the opening of his first Pearle Vision Franchise! His commitment to providing exceptional eye care and a true genuine experience to his patients, he will make Pearle Vision a cherished part of the Tucson community.

Our connections to our neighborhoods start in our eye care centers. Our NEXCOMM Oceana location in Virginia Beach, VA invited 200 families for a day of fun, games, and prizes. We shared some of our exciting new products and frames, including Ray-Ban Meta, along with our vision solutions. Thank you to our Oceana team for all their incredible work. We look forward to welcoming everyone in again!  

Another big thank you to our franchise doctors! Throughout Doctor Appreciation Week, we got to know and experience their boundless passion for our patients and eye health. There’s no question that Dr. Stanley Pearle’s mission continues to breathe life through the achievements and dedication of our wonderful franchise doctor community!

During Doctor Appreciation Week, we express our gratitude to our incredible doctors who diligently provide top-notch eyecare to our valued patients. Their commitment to eye health is unwavering and we appreciate them each day. Take a look as a few of our franchise doctors share their journeys with our #PearleVision community!
