NEW YORK— Warby Parker, the eyewear e-tailing brand based here with a growing brick-and-mortar presence in select markets throughout the country, has launched two more physical locations within one week, one in San Francisco and the other in Chicago. Both cities were first scouted out in 2012 when the company took its Class Trip to various locations across the country in a retrofitted school bus. Opticians will be staffed at each store to take measurements and make adjustments, and both locations will ship prescription eyeglasses within a few days while offering sunwear and optical frames with plano lenses for immediate purchase.

In Chicago, the Warby Parker Frame Studio opened on Saturday, Nov. 22, 2014, and will operate as the optical retailer’s latest concept shop until its permanent location opens a few doors down at 851 Armitage Avenue. Customers can place orders using in-store tablets. The 2,500-square-foot Frame Studio will also feature a video jukebox consisting of a retro television with a VHS player, a professional photographer snapping pictures of customers free of charge, and retail advisors outfitted in aprons designed by Brooklyn-based Kill Devil Kill to pay homage to old-school photo lab aprons.

Opened yesterday, Nov. 25, 2014, the 2,112-square-foot San Francisco store is located at 357 Hayes Street, surrounded by independent bookstores and coffee shops, and like Warby Parker’s other locations, its library-inspired features will include bookcases, wooden floors, independent press publications, and seating for reading and relaxing. It will house the optical retailer’s entire collection.

A Reference Desk, modeled after the one on Lexington Avenue in Manhattan, will provide a one-stop shop for pickups, adjustments, and frame selection. The husband and wife creative duo known as Lab Partners were commissioned to create unique murals of San Francisco life and landmarks inside and outside the store, and fashion designer Whitney Pozgay was enlisted to create the uniforms. A sustainability scorecard will be piloted here to help the company measure and reduce its environmental impact.

These two new Warby Parker locations join eight other freestanding stores in New York (three locations), Los Angeles (two locations), Boston, Dallas and Atlanta. The company also opened a second corporate office in Nashville to augment its New York City corporate headquarters, as reported Sept. 5, 2014, by VMail.
