We walked into the store to browse frames as I was soon due for a new pair. Greeted warmly by Bobbie-Jo, I told her that I was just looking to get some style ideas and didn’t want to waste her time. She said she had lots of time to help me find what would suit me. She even repaired my old glasses which were not purchased there. Her service was truly amazing. I will be back to get my prescription filled. Thank you Bobbi-Jo!
