Celebrated brand Warby Parker opened the doors of its first regional brick-and-mortar store on Saturday, in Georgetown. The folks at Warby Parker fell in love with the area a few years ago when they passed through town, according to Georgetown BID.

The new store is located at 3225 M St. NW and is open daily from 11 a.m.-7 p.m.

The new store takes advantage of the location’s original masonry details, with large alcove windows welcoming customers into the space, which, much like a classic library, contains elegant displays of books, custom brass library lamps, and plenty of nooks for reading and relaxing. Joining the walls of glasses is exclusive artwork by designer and artist Jason Munn. Visitors to the store can browse and purchase a roster of books sourced from Warby Parker’s favorite indie publishers.

In addition to shopping the prescription sunwear and optical offerings in-store, the Georgetown location features the ”Reference Desk,” a one-stop shop for pickups, adjustments, and more.

To celebrate, Warby Parker has released the Percey frame in Crystal as a pair of sunglasses with mirrored lenses--available exclusively at the store.
