Westfield Welcoming Warby Parker

The New York City based glasses retailer looking to open this fall.

WESTFIELD, NJ - Things are about to look clearer in downtown Westfield as Warby Parker, retailer of prescription glasses and sunglasses, is coming to 137 Central Ave.

The company is based in New York City but it is taking over the space space formerly occupied by Coldwater Creek. According to the company website, Warby Parker is based on the belief that buying glasses should be easy and fun and should "leave you happy and good-looking, with money in your pocket."

The company also states they believe that everyone has the right to see, and so and they partner with non-profits to ensure that for every pair of glasses sold, a pair is distributed to someone in need.
