    I just heard it from a regional mgr of Luxottica. Have not heard it elsewhere, or from my rep. Anyone else hear anything about this? More than anything, it is probably Marcolin trying to get a sales force, since they are very bad at that.

    Thoughts?

    I have to admit that I love OP and Kenneth Cole from Clearvision (the rest have something to be desired, though FP is not bad). They both sell like made in my dispensary with people aged 12-40 and beyond. KC has great looks. I just hope that Marcolin (if this is true) does not screw with those lines.

    UtahOD, Marcolin did not buy Clearvision; they bought Creative! Who knows why?

    Probably to gain access to the middle and mass market retailers where they are not now, i.e., Wal~Mart, etc.

    They bought creative and laid off 2 district managers, one who was my favorite, hardest working rep for years. I wasn't impressed with Creative's products at SECO.

    Unhappy

    Marcolin also let 78 employes go at the Rockaway office. Who cares about the DM. They were useless anyway.
