    Great Glasses expanding?

    Great Glasses has begun its first ever external offering. We have just completed our initial National Tradeshow this past weekend in Toronto. The response to our business model was overwhelming. Great Glasses has many differentiators within our industry that allow our potential franchise partners to enjoy excellent sales with high margins.

    We are planning a Wine & Cheese night in February. Are you interested in details?

    If you have any questions at this time or require further info please feel free to email me directly. All of our locations have begun 2008 very strong giving us every indication that future locations will do extremely well. As expected with an initial external offering we are seeing a sense of urgency to lock up potential areas as we move to grow from our 22 stores across Ontario. Do you have an area that interests you?

    Great Glasses provides all licensing and training necessary to succeed within the optical industry.

    Regards,
    Scott Arsenault

    I love the last line...I never thought I would see the day where I would reach into the bottom of my box of 'Cracker Jacks' and find a 'Great Glasses' licensed optician.

    It's hard to believe there are still people out there that would take such a risk with their investment. The 'Great Glasses' name and reputation has been dragged through the mud throughout the media and optical industry for good reason. Similar to purchasing shares, do potential investors not perform research on past history and performance? Great Glasses is the optical industry's Enron. Risk vs. Reward??? Alex, I'll take 'Lying Optical Scheisters' for '$500,000'.

    all I got is " 3 for 1"

    It's funny I was just checking their (great glasses) website , and I couldn't understand what kind of store it is, message is very confusing, all I can remember is "3 for 1" deal, now you guys have enlightened me.
