End of an era. We did what we could. We appreciate all of your support. My father's legacy was creating a discount model in 1982, that all others since try to duplicate with the guise of being a discounter. Discounting is not bait and switching. It is providing a product, below the normal and customary cost, dare I say, fair market cost, with the same quality and service that is mandated throughout the industry, at the advertised and published price. Between big box pressure, insurance plans which penalize a discounter, rising cost of marketing against the few but well funded conglomerates of corporate competitors that control not only the retail of the eyeglass business, but also the wholesale and distribution, Factory Eyeglass Outlet could not compete in today's market. Make no mistake, there has never been, and will never be, another eyeglass store like Factory Eyeglass Outlet.
Thank you for your patronage.
