Warby Parker, Philly-Founded Glasses Retailer, Coming To Ardmore

ARDMORE, PA — Suburban Square is getting a new business soon, and that business has strong connections to the Philadelphia area.

Glasses retailer Warby Parker is set to open in Ardmore's Suburban Square, 66 Coulter Ave., Saturday.

The business was founded by Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania students Neil Blumenthal, Andrew Hunt, David Gilboa, and Jeffrey Raider in 2010.

The new Ardmore store will be Warby Parker's fifth Pennsylvania store, with others in Philadelphia, King of Prussia, and Pittsburgh.

Warby Parker’s full optical and sun eyewear offerings, its own of daily contact lenses, daily, bi-weekly, and monthly contact brands will be available at the store.

The store will also offer eye exams.

University of the Arts in Philadelphia alum and Los Angeles-based artist Loveis Wise did the store's indoor and outdoor artwork, including a full-scale mural that depicts a reader enjoying a book before a backdrop of natural and magical forms. Loveis’s artwork will also be featured on a special gift-with-purchase, limited edition poster throughout opening weekend.

Additionally, Warby Parker's store experience has changed to implement protocols ensuring the safety of both customers and staff, including 1-on-1 guided shopping, limited capacity, contactless checkout features, and enhanced sanitation.

Hours for the Suburban Square store are 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Saturday and 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Sunday.
