One of the cool things about my job is learning about our local businesses. It's really cool to see how business leaders build their companies, support local employees and get involved with the community.

The most recent new business on my radar is Eyemart Express. They just opened on Transit Road in Williamsville, right next to Kay Jewelers. Their specialty (pay attention, busy families and harried adults!) in offering quality but affordable glasses without long waits. They offer more than 2,000 frames, including options from brands like Michael Kors, Longchamp, Columbia, Disney and Nike.

I also was impressed to learn: Most glasses are ready the same day. No more waiting weeks for your glasses to come in and then setting a second appointment to have them fitted!

They offer great discounts for some of our most important community members, too. Teachers and school staff members can get 20 percent off by showing their school IDs. Similarly, Eyemart Express gives all veterans, military members, and their families an extra 20 percent off with valid IDs.

Come save at the new Eyemart Express! For a limited time only, get two pairs of single vision glasses for only $19 or two pairs of glasses with progressive lenses for only $68. Stop in, shop and tell 'em I sent you.
