Report
They have a VERY limited selection of eye glasses frames. I came here because, silly me I read a Yelp review of the Dartmouth location and it said that the Dartmouth location had a sparse selection. Lies. According to an employee at this location, the Dartmouth location is their main location and this location is a smaller version. She basically said everything they have on the walls at this location came from the Dartmouth location.
I would only come here if I had no way to get to the Dartmouth location, or if I saw something I liked fsfs. Other than that, the staff are nice and professional. Cross streets are Union and Purchase. Very close to the Rite Aid (and on the same side of the street as the Rite Aid).
