What are some of the most, er... interesting optical combos you have heard of? So far I've heard of optical/chocolate shop, optical/tanning salon, Optical/dayspa.SURELY there are others.

[Judy Canty]

I have 2 optometry/dental accounts.

Optical/Chocolate Shop ..... I'd be one FAT optician, LOL
Optical/Tanning Salon ..... I'd be a dark sexy optician, ROFL

Day Spa.... Well I am a trained and Certified Massage Therapist also, that might work.

Now we have a Bar in our optical center..... Maybe I need to install Taps

I attended a meeting of NAIT students and met an Optician/Barber from Idaho. Get your glasses adjusted while getting a haircut. I think she has added a third activity recently.

I saw an article in a trade mag awhile back that had an optical shop paired with an ice cream parlor.I think you really couldn't go wrong with donuts

[Java99]

Optical & Audiology seem to go hand in hand pretty often.

My town has one of the optical/tanning salons. I hope they stay open forever, they are great for business.

Open a high end adults only shop with a good bartender. Much easier to sell high end stuff after the patient has had a few.

I had a bar in one of my offices. We served wine while they looked at frames. (Only about 10% of the patients accepted the offer). We remodeled a few years later and left the bar/reception desk out.

There was a guy that retired last year around here that sold pies. From what I hear, he did more in pies than glasses.

There is a combination Optical and Hair Salon, where the frames are in the waiting room. They don't do very well though.

I thought of mixing Optical with Bikini Baristas so you can get coffee and glasses at the same time, and call it Hot Gl-Asses.

While attending the world famous HCC in Tampa, Fla., I was required to do a marketing plan for an optical start-up. The name of my project "store" was Tropical Optical. I had the store laid out to look like a beach, complete with cabanas, and a tiki bar, and the opticians (all women) had uniforms that consisted of grass skirts and coconuts!

Although Dr. Norm Ross was not the instructor for the project, I ran it by him, and he said it would probably be a definite "A" if I had some of my classmates model the uniforms. (I didn't, but got an "A" anyway).

[Jacqui]

Optical and 'Whoopie Parlor"?? Sorry, this thread reminded me of a joke I heard at Ole's earlier today.

[EyeManFla]

I loved HCC...it was a great place to park your car for a Bucs game.......LOL

I was in the first class the graduated from the new campus and have many fond memories of sleeping on the second floor "porch" in my lawn chair between classes. Never went to a Bucs game.

Why can't it be magic mike's optical with hunky dancing men? Why do all the great business models involve sexy women?
Or fifty shades of frames?

[mdeimler]

We have an optical/hearing aides and an optical/false teeth nearby.

[obxeyeguy]

I heard there is a place in Virginia, optical one side, guns the other. My kind of store.

[Judy Canty]

Hmmmmm...haven't found that one yet.
