Grand Spectacle 764 Grand Avenue, Saint Paul, MN 55105

"I chose Grand Spectacle because of their extensive inventory of Lindberg frames. Said frames are unique in that they require precise lenses fittings. Like a swiss watch maker, Kyle delivered and perfectly fitted them. I purchased my second set of eye glasses and I foresee going back when needed."

"I have found my new "go to" place for my prescription eye wear. I am so impressed with the depth of knowledge by the staff around vision, technology and their products. In a very short amount of time I was able to determine what features in my lenses were important to me as well as feeling very informed on the "corner cutting" I always attempt to do to save the most money and get the most value. I have the best quality lenses I have ever experienced from Grand Spectacle. Every promise explained to me was delivered on. My vision is crucial to me and I will pay more for expertise, confidence and quality because I end up with what I want instead of what I can get saving only a few bucks. I will return to Grand Spectacle as long as I live here and recommend them to everyone."

"I have been wearing glasses forever, I'm at the age where bifocals are necessary. My previous glasses were OK but had a small "sweet spot" that caused problems when reading and doing computer work. Matt assured me that they could correct this, and he was right. My new glasses allow me much more focal range, with very thin lenses and frames that are so light I have to check to see I'm wearing them. The Grand Spectacle gives you a great experience with an equally great result. I highly recommend these professionals."

"I have very mixed feelings about this business. The product quality is great, my exams have always been very good as well. Over the weekend, the river ate my $800. + glasses and I am trying to replace them at a lower cost. I called to ask for a simple measurement that is in their records. Was told it would be $50. to have this information. I feel this is poor customer service and will look elsewhere for my eye care needs. My review is 5 star for some and - stars for the refusal to tell me my distance between pupils. (Target Optical will do the measurement at no cost and I'm not even a client)"

"We had a terrible experience here just today. We live near the establishment. In fact, our properties share an alley. My husband (poor, kind fool) agreed to collect money for the block for the alley plowing. It is a pretty thankless job. The residential folks are wonderful and pay on time. The businesses are spotty-- some are wonderfully punctual with payment, others a bit less reliable, but only ONE actually tells you to go to hell in front of children. The Spectacle Shoppe. My husband stopped in for the third time to follow up on whether the owner would be able to pony up $25 to pay their fair share to access the alley in winter. On his first visit, he left a flyer explaining the cost breakdown. Five weeks ago, he stopped in again and explained who he was and the owner told him ok but would not commit to whether he would contribute. If you've ever been in charge of collecting cash, you know the pain is in the follow up. Anyway, he stopped in a third time today and the owner told him they were too busy. (There were two people in the shop.) My husband is in sales, so this wasn't his first rodeo. He agreed to wait. The customers left. The owner said they would need to get back to him and Sean said he would just appreciate a verbal because doubling back repeatedly is a hassle. The guy blew his lid. Meanwhile, a family with two kids had entered. He actually told my husband to "Go to hell." Over $25. Classy. I wouldn't work with them for any price."
