    Bell Optical closing?

    Heard from a sales rep the other day that Bell Optical was closing, don't know if it's only the local branch or all of them. Anyone heard anything else?

    Was it from a Bell rep, or one of their "fierce" competitors? They're Essilor, and so (w/a few exceptions) is most of their competition.

    I would think that it could only be so long before they start consolidating their "Partner" facilities to make them more efficient.

    I'm thinking it might just be the local branch, as they do no surfacing and little edging. Mostly just a distribution portal.
    And, no, it was not from a different lab rep.
