After receiving the crush of a large foot
in a size 13 shoe
after falling quietly onto a carpeted floor somewhere in India,
Bill's glasses looked something like this.
Now, I am sorry he had to do without glasses until he returned home, but I was secretly pretty happy, because this little accident provided the perfect opportunity to tell you about one of my favorite service stores:
Its name is Spectrum and their skilled technicians have come to our rescue many times
over the years.
Their primary purpose is to provide fast and economical repair of eyeglasses.
However, they also sell all sorts of helpful visually related items:
sunglasses
in many forms,
cool cases,
all shapes and sizes of magnifying glasses,
and much, much more.
If you are thinking creatively for Christmas this year,
Spectrum has some good gift possibilities.
Mike Kusmin started this business with a friend in 1993 after his parents returned from a trip to Texas. While in Dallas his mother broke her glasses
and they found a small repair shop.
Mike's folks were so impressed with the service of this shop they told Mike a similar operation could be successful in St. Louis.
Wise young man that he was, he considered his parents counsel and 19 years later he has a thriving business that provides a much needed service to thousands of people.
Most repairs can be completed in a couple of hours. If the fix requires welding the cost is around $40 and carries a lifetime warranty. (I know from experience, they do honor that guarantee.) Although Bill's glasses were really mangled,
there was no welding so the cost was *only* $22.
Wow, I'm always impressed by these guys.
This is a great shop for many practical items and for quick, lasting fixes!
