Inside the new Green Eyewear store at 234 Hunter St. W
Green Eyewear: excellent new location
Local business owners Shane and Amanda Palmer have recently moved their George Street store Green Eyewear Optical to the brand new building at the corner of Hunter St and Alymer St (234 Hunter St W), in downtown Peterborough.
It was very important to them to keep their business in the vibrant downtown and to continue supporting our community. They are conveniently located right next door to Dr. Diane Trevis and Associates, which allows them to provide full optical care from one location.
Convenient parking
The new location has ample parking, which makes it very accessible for their customers. These owners/operators try to keep things as local as possible, such as sourcing beautiful, quality eyeglass frames by a designer who lives in Millbrook.
Making the conscious decision to promote local keeps their carbon footprint low and contributes to our local economy.
Beautiful new store
Green Eyewear Optical has been open for five successful years now. Shane and Amanda would like to thank Peterborough for embracing their business and choosing to buy local.
“We are very fortunate to have a loyal client base, we are very focused on customer service and I think people appreciate that,” they say.
Shane and Amanda invite you to stop in and see their NEW LOCATION. It is located at 234 Hunter St W (NW corner at Alymer).
Lots of great selection
