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.
