Specsavers set to open in Loblaw stores across Canada
Loblaw Companies Ltd. has got its eyes on a special new partnership with S
pecsavers Canada
.
The companies announced a collaboration, which will see 111 new Specsavers optical locations move into Loblaws-branded stores across Canada.
'The new Specsavers locations will replace the
Theodore & Pringle
brand, in select Loblaw-owned stores including Loblaws, Real Canadian Superstore and Zehrs,' the
companies noted in a press release
. 'They will offer comprehensive eye care services featuring advanced technology like optical coherence tomography (OCT).'
The expansion means there will be more than 260 Specsavers locations across Canada.
'This expansion represents a pivotal moment for eye care accessibility in Canada,' Bill Moir, Specsavers Canada managing director, said. 'By opening 111 new locations within trusted Loblaw locations, we're fundamentally improving how Canadians access the eye care they deserve. Our mission has always been to change lives through better sight; we believe expert eye care and quality eyewear should be affordable for all.'
'Specsavers' reputation for accessible eye care aligns perfectly with our purpose — to help Canadians live life well,' Irene Doody, Loblaw Companies head of optical, said in the press release. 'Specsavers will provide a seamless transition for our optical customers while introducing them to a trusted global leader in eye care.'
The first set of Specsavers stores within Loblaws locations is expected to open in some spots by September.
Specsavers entered the Canadian market in late 2021, the company added, but it was created in the U.K. more than 40 years ago. There are more than 2,700 locations globally.
