History
In 1961, Dr. Stanley Pearle transformed the eye care industry. When he opened the first Pearle Optical in Savannah, Georgia, he created a comprehensive eye care destination by bringing optometrists and opticians together, providing the convenience of stopping in for a comprehensive eye exam and then consulting with an optician to select frames and lenses.
Almost immediately, patients flocked to Pearle Optical, not only because it was convenient but also because Dr. Pearle had style. He had made it his mission to stock a wide assortment of fashionable frames.
Throughout the 1970s and 1980s, he opened hundreds of Pearle Vision EyeCare Centers throughout the United States. His commitment to both comprehensive eye care and fashionable eye wear resonated with customers who wanted to see better and look better. The tag line "Nobody cares for eyes more than Pearle" became an iconic slogan that still resonates with consumers today.
Ideal Candidate
Pearle Vision is looking for people who share our passions: expert care, trust and personal service. Committed to building and maintaining doctor-patient relationships, Pearle Vision has carved a niche in the industry and stands out as the franchise of choice for passionate and entrepreneurial owners who embody or values.
While many of our licensed owners are ODs or optometrists, these qualifications are not necessary-in fact, many our our most successful licensed owners come from business, sales and marketing backgrounds.
Here are a few ways that Pearle Vision stands out:
- A better experience for doctor and patient-a great way to grow your business from the ground up.
- Full-service patient care-our philosophy is eye care first, glasses second.
- Sustainable demand-join a nearly recession-proof industry.
- Better back-end systems mean more time for patients-managing your own practice becomes much less time-consuming with Pearle Vision's processes and operations support.
- Affiliation with Luxottica, the world's leading optical company
