Sunglass Shoppe

I really enjoy shopping here! I’ll admit that I usually only go when they’re having a sale, but who doesn’t like to save money?
This store is actually a kiosk near the Victoria’s Secret, but despite the seemingly small size, they carry a HUGE variety of designer sunglasses (and even a decent selection of eyeglasses frames) designed by a lot of the big name designers. I still buy my cheap-​o $ 20 sunglasses, but I occasionally like to splurge so I can have at least one pair that I didn’t buy at Target or a gift shop somewhere. Although they mostly carry designer brands, they do carry a few inexpensive brands, and you can usually browse a selection of clearance discontinued items, too.
There are other locations: the Galleria, and there’s a store in Willowbrook Mall (although I’ve never been to that location. I avoid the long drive to Willowbrook Mall if I can). This location is my fave because I love Memorial CIty Mall (it’s big, but has a simple layout that’s easy to navigate, unlike the Galleria).
The staff here is really nice and helpful – not something you’ll always find in the retail field. I always enjoy my interactions with the owner, David. It took me a while to realize who he was, after seeing him at both locations a few times. (I thought he was just a big fan of the store/​possible stalker at first, haha). He’s nice and really good about answering questions, even if you just want to spend 15 minutes trying glasses on. Caveat: he can be brutally honest, and if something doesn’t suit you, he’ll tell you! I appreciate it though, because the honesty tells me he wants repeat customers, and not just a sale. The girl in me is sad because the Tom Ford sunglasses I’ve been drooling over for months don’t look good on me. Le sigh. And, if I have a problem with my glasses, the staff is always good about adjusting them or figuring out what needs to be done to resolve the problem. Good customer service (and quality products) is what will always keep me coming back to a business, and this place has both. I’m happy!
