I didn't know they had any non-Lux anyway. Why would they?
Nothing official available right now........................
However it would make sense, by owning retail stores it would be stupid to support any competition.
They have a huge selection among their own produced products made by companies they own.
Furthermore business is so good these days that a move like that would make sense. Lets see and wait.
Yes, probably after they buy Maui Jim,,,,,
I love how everyone says "why would they carry competitor product," and then go on to say how well Ray ban sells in their store, how great big E products are, etc., etc.,
The reason they'd carry competitor products is kind of like the banking meltdown. We are all interconnected in the same industry, and if a key segment fails, we all fail.
There is a delusion amongst the CEOs of the big companies right now that vertical integration is the key to market success because of increased profitability. However, it is a very short sighted goal that will shift the tide back to independent practices that offer a full range of consumer products. It will boost their profits in the short term, but then they'll have to adjust their strategies as they begin to lose market share.
I disagree, Guy.
When you go to the Apple store, you don't get HP as an option, and they're doing fine.
Yeah, if you go to a department store you get many brands, but that's not the only retail strategy out there.
It seems like Pearl Vision has been picking up quite a few brands that are non Lux based. They now have Sillouette's around here and Maui Jim's just to name a few. Maybe Lux will be transfering their non Lux brands over to pearl and just keep lenscrafters strictly Lux based from now on
[QUOTE=Chris Ryser;525552]How would you explain that car dealers have stuck to and sold the same original brand forever ?

The same dealer usually has a used car lot, where he will sell the competitions' brands all day.

Speaking of "cough, cough"....(name drop alert), I was at a beach party at a yacht club (not my people) Sunday. I was wearing my Made In the USA, Parkman zyl/bamboo inlay suns, the guy next to me Maui Jim, and the guy next to him was also wearing Mauis. A real estate developer came on the scene wearing RayBans. Without provocation his wife says, "Guess where big spender Saul bought his RayBans...Target!" He was greeted with howls and fake (mine wasn't fake) scorn, and then someone said, "Why are they selling them there?!?" I said, "Easy, take them off and look at where they are made...China." A little "cough, cough" as we passed my Parkmans around for all to admire. Oh, the name drop? Lebron James was on the yacht next slip over, with JR, who happened to be wearing a shirt.

I thought you were going to say Trump was wearing those Target Raybans!
Johns is a beautiful person living large on the banks of a river called Denile.
