PHOENIX, AZ, Jul 12 (MARKET WIRE) --
Eyeglass World, a leading national eyewear retailer that offers quality,
selection, service and fashionable brand names at affordable prices,
today celebrated the grand opening of its new store in the metropolitan
Phoenix area by helping local underprivileged children with undiagnosed
vision problems. The store also held a full day of festivities to mark
its arrival in Goodyear, including a ribbon-cutting ceremony with
Goodyear Mayor James Cavanaugh, music, food and giveaways.
As part of its Live With Vision program, Eyeglass World invited
underprivileged children from the Boys & Girls Club of Metropolitan
Phoenix to the new store to receive free eye exams and glasses.
Live With Vision is a national program developed by Eyeglass World that
provides eye care products and services to children in need, and raises
awareness of the importance of vision screenings and proper eye care.
Undiagnosed vision among children is a growing issue that contributes to a
child's performance in school and overall behavior. Many children are
struggling with issues at school and at home that are stemming from
unidentified and undiagnosed vision problems.
"We're very pleased Eyeglass World has become a part of our community,"
said Mayor Cavanaugh. "And we are grateful for their commitment to helping
children in our area who cannot afford proper eye care."
The new 4,000 square foot location features more than 2,000 brand name
frames in the latest eyewear styles and designs from brand names such as
Nike, Gucci, Donna Karan and Calvin Klein. An optometrist is available on
site 7 days a week for eye exams, prescriptions and even Lasik eligibility
screenings and post-operative appointments.
"Goodyear has become one of the fastest-growing areas in metropolitan
Phoenix and we are looking forward to becoming a part of this thriving
community," said Veronica Stiteler, general manager of the Goodyear
Eyeglass World. "We offer consumers the most well-known brands in eyewear
at affordable prices plus trusted eye care, making us the ultimate
one-stop shop for eyewear in the area."
Hours for the Goodyear store are: Monday-Friday, 9 a.m. - 7 p.m.;
Saturday, 9 a.m. - 6 p.m.; and Sunday, 10 a.m. - 5 p.m. The store is
located at 15465 W. McDowell Road in Goodyear; phone: 623-247-2706.
