The new store, located at 2230 West Oregon Avenue in
Philadelphia, opened its doors to community members on Friday, May
31, with a celebration in true Philly fashion, including a
performance by the Fralinger String Band Mummers and treats from
Rita’s Italian Ice.
The new store marks the 34th America’s Best location in the
greater Philadelphia area, expanding Philadelphians’ access to
affordable, high-quality eye care and eyewear. Since 2003, in the
Philadelphia DMA alone, America’s Best has served 1.9M customers,
conducted 2.8M eye exams, provided 4.1M pairs of eyeglasses, and
created thousands of jobs for community members.
“Philadelphia was one of the first markets for America’s Best
over 40 years ago, so it is incredibly special to be celebrating
this milestone in a city that has played such a vital role in our
success and our history,” said Reade Fahs, Chief Executive Officer
of National Vision. “It has been incredible to see the impact
America’s Best has made in the world of eye care since day one, and
to be back in the same city all these years later as we open our
1,000th store is truly a full circle moment.”
America’s Best is a category leader in a highly competitive
eyewear market, and supplies thousands of quality eyeglasses,
contact lenses and eye exams to customers and patients every day.
Each store carries a wide selection of eyeglass frames (including
designer brands), contact lenses and eyeglass accessories and
offers an eye exam and two pairs of eyeglasses starting at 79.95.
Supported by technology-focused labs, state-of-the-art optometric
equipment, and a team of passionate associates and skilled
affiliated optometrists, every America’s Best location is focused
on delivering high quality vision care and superior products to
customers and patients.
“America’s Best has paved the way for ensuring every American
has access to quality eye care and eyewear at affordable costs, and
the Philadelphia market has been an integral part of our ability to
do that,” said Matt McCandless, Division Vice President (East) at
National Vision and long-time resident of the Philadelphia
metropolitan area.
The milestone also tells a story of the eye care sector’s
evolution, and National Vision’s position in adopting technological
advancements. The company is furthering its brand-wide roll out of
electronic health records with this store’s opening.
Simultaneously, National Vision is continuing to invest in remote
technology, also available at this location, to make it easier for
Americans to get access to the eye care they need, anticipating
having approximately 700 remote-enabled stores by the end of
2024.
“We take great pride in acknowledging the milestones our
dedicated team makes possible,” Fahs said. “Today’s milestone is a
true reflection of National Vision’s long-term commitment to
advancing vision care, and delivering on commitment requires a
relentless pursuit of growth and innovation.”
The celebration continues nationwide, with a customer
sweepstakes running until June 8, 2024. Customers are encouraged to

glasses for a chance to win a voucher up to $1,000 to be used on a
