Tulsa, United States - January 11, 2019 /PressCable/ —

Empire Optical has been a household name in Tulsa for affordable eye wear for over 50 years. Their ongoing commitment to high-quality frames and state-of-the-art lenses – lenses that they cut onsite – makes them one of the largest providers of eyeglasses in the Tulsa area. The Grand Opening of Empire Optical’s newest location fulfills owner, Christian Hargrove’s vision to turn a discount glasses store into an immersive experience.

The new store, located on East 21st St., features massage chairs and art installations to make visitors feel at home while they shop. There is an enormous selection of discount glasses inside with an entire wall dedicated only to sunglasses. “We are excited to welcome everyone to our new location,” exclaims Hargrove. “It isn’t just a store, it’s an interactive glasses experience with thousands of frames, countless styles, and awesome glasses displays. You have to see it for yourself!”

While connecting the Tulsa community with affordable glasses that fit the individual style of each customer is Hargrove’s first priority, he’s also eager to introduce new customers to his rescue dog, Ruth. He calls her his “floor manager and style savant.” Says Hargrove, “even though our new location is large, Ruth always makes sure to manage the entire space. It’s safe to say she is one of our best employees!”

While Empire Optical’s new space gives the community an alternative glasses shopping experience in a modern, top-of-the-line space, the brand is still synonymous with affordability. Visitors to Empire’s newest location can take advantage of a running deal intended to make prescription eyeglasses more affordable than ever before: shoppers can purchase frames, lenses, and a premium lens enhancement – all for just $150.

The new Empire Optical is located at 3220 East 21st St Suite 100, Tulsa, OK 74114, down the street from the Tulsa State Fair. “Simply put, we love our new location!” states Hargrove. “When planning for this location, we had our customers in mind. We wanted to create not only a store for sunglasses and glasses, but also a place where people can hang out. That is just what we did!”

Founded in 1964, Empire Optical has been a leading name in eyeglasses in Tulsa since the company’s conception.
