The history of Sunglasses Hut

Sunglasses Hut is the world reputable retail name of sunglasses with about 2000 store mainly in North America and other parts of the world. Sunglasses Hut has witnessed quick expansion since its founding due to its excellent quality and 100% satisfaction guaranteed customer service.

Sunglasses Hut began its business in 1971 by an optometrist in Miami called Sanford Ziff by opening a kiosk in the aisle of Miami’s Dadeland mall. Early businesses seemed successful as Ziff, with entrepreneurial insights, saw the trend of fashion function of sunglasses above its protection purposes. In the later years, directed by Ziff’s son Dean, the Sunglasses Hut grew to the scale of 100 stores in USA by 1986, and the revenue in that year reached $24 million.

In 1988, in order for further and quicker expansion of Sunglasses Hut, Ziff decided to sell 75% of the company share to Kidd Kamm and Co., and to use the money to open more Sunglasses Hut stores. By 1991, 450 Sun glasses Hut stores were operated in total and annual revenue exceeded a landmark of $100 million. Around this time, the founder Ziff sold out all the remaining 25% interests and totally stepped out of Sun glasses Hut business.

1993 was the year of another fantastic milestone for Sunglasses Hut. In this year, Sun glasses Hut was listed public. Using the money from the exchange market, Sun glasses Hut experienced an even quicker expansion. By 1996, the sales reached $500 million, and nearly 1700 stores were opened in total.

The performance of Sunglasses Hut caught the eyes of the world’s largest player of eyewear industry Luxottica, and in 2001 this Milan optical giant successfully acquired Sunglasses Hut, and now integrated as a part of Luxottica Retail.

Currently Sun glasses Hut sells its premium sunglasses in its store locations, via mail-order and through it website Sunglasshut com.

Two classic sunglasses designs from Ray Ban

August 5th, 2010

Currently, sunglasses are provided by many big or small brands. It is now possible for customers worldwide to get favorable sunglasses in many styles, shapes, colors and materials. When it comes to lens functionality, sunglasses are available in both prescription and non-prescription types. Even photochromic sunglasses which feature self-adjustment of lens darkness are widely manufactured. Sunwear styles always change, so does its fashion world. From a historical perspective, these different elements used in sunwear designs are generally dynamic. For instance, the application of bright colors in sunwear frames and lenses has a short history, while black and gray are traditional colors. This dynamicity is to a large degree a direct reflection of customers’ changing needs and tastes. Sunwear users living in different times always want to get a new look that is different from former generations. However, there have been some classic sunglasses that have been stayed in the mainstream for many decades.

It is important to state that frame color and material, lens color and material are relatively subtle factors which have slight influence on the overall design. The most decisive element is frame shape or structure. People with much eyewear experience will certainly know that most classic sunglasses and eyeglasses maintain their uniqueness from innovative frame shape or structure. There are a couple of classic examples in both eyeglass and sunglass fields. In the following part, we discuss two classic sunwear designs made by Ray Ban.

Manufactured by Ray Ban since 1952, Ray Ban Wayfarer sunglasses have a design which is considered as a revolutionary break from the metal eyewear of the past. These products took advantage of new plastic molding technology and marked the transition between glasses using thin metal and glasses made of plastics. But the secret of its extreme popularity in the 1950s and 1960s is its radically new shape. Another classic sunglasses design from Ray Ban is the Aviator. These products feature dark, often reflective lenses with a lens size that is two or three times the area of the eye socket. Their metal frames have either paddles or wire temples hooking behind the ears. Both of these two classic designs from Ray Ban are enjoying a revival.

One hour service and Lens Crafters

July 25th, 2010

Lens Crafters is one of the handfuls of optical retail brands in America offer one hour service to the buyers of eyeglasses. This service frees the patients from the hassles of coming back and forth for eye exam, choosing the frames and lenses and finally picking up the eyeglasses. As a new thing in the recent years, the one hour service of Lens Crafters was discussed in the boards hotly. There are pros and cons for this new matter.

Lens Crafters once started the one hour service as a way of promotion just like other retailers. Some insiders from Lens Crafters revealed that it is very costly to keep a simple yet full-functional optical lab behind the store due to the equipments and human costs. Normally one Lens Crafters store doesn’t have too many traffic and orders per day, it is uneconomical to provide this service. It is more rational to set up a convergent regional lab for a couple of Lens Crafters stores just like before.

As eyeglasses are medical devices, some eye care professionals argue that one hour service of prescription eyeglasses will increase the variances of lenses powers, thus affecting the prescription accuracy. One Lens Crafters store won’t stock every possible prescription lenses customers need. In order for one-hour delivery, some opticians may choose to enlarge the lenses strength tolerances by using the available inventory lenses. This enlarged tolerance is harmful to patients’ eye health. On this point one hour service of Lens Crafters only works for the simplest prescriptions.

Investment on one pair of eyeglasses is not small, so people usually think the eyeglasses need delicate and big job to be fitted and done. One hour service of Lens Crafters gives the consumers the feeling that eyeglasses can be done in one hour therefore the quality of eyeglasses is also in the manner of fast food. Of course, this is truly a misperception, but on the hand shows that the one hour service is probably a failing strategy.

Another argument centers on whether it is necessary for patients to use one hour service. In fact only very few customers who don’t have backup glasses break their only eyewear may ask for the quickest possible delivery.

It was heard that the Lens Crafters was testing to get rid of one hour prescription in some of its stores. Maybe the answer is pretty apparent after above analysis.
