1001 Optical

The 1001 logo not only reflects a spectacle but also probably the number of units in store. It is an average sized store inside Top Ryde, but their collection of brands is very good. They have all the high end designer brands and also the more popular brands for glasses and sunglasses.
Unlike other stores which keep their sales products at the back of the store and force you to enter and walk by all the other racks to check out the sale items, 1001 optical displays their sunglasses on sale right in front. The store is located across the escalator and as you walk by the store, you can find the sunglasses displayed in an open shelf on the wall.
So easy to pop in, try on a couple of shades and buy impulsively. That is exactly what prompted my impulse Gucci Sunglass purchase from them. I cannot resist a sale and when the brand is Gucci, it’s almost a sin to walk away. So, I did the only logical (!?) thing, walked to the counter and paid for it.
I didn’t need service or someone fawning over how good it looked, although the staff look quite friendly and I am sure would be happy to assist. They did accommodated my want for a hard case to protect my beloved Gucci’s though.
