After seven years in Florida and four months of being retired, William Toledo decided to create a new business: 369 EyeWear/Stack & Save.
Toledo has now partnered with James Lambrou, the owner of Sunglass KRATE in the KRATE at The Grove container park in Wesley Chapel and the result is that 369 EyeWear and Sunglass KRATE are now combined in the same former shipping container where Lambrou has had his shop for almost a year.
Combined, Lambrou, a licensed optician, and Toledo have more than 70 years of experience in the eyeglass industry. Each has contributed different visions to create a new, different and innovative concept.
They say the intention is to unite two market trends in one place: Fashion and affordable prices for everyone. Knowing that people need more than one pair of glasses (or sunglasses) in today’s fast-paced world, 369 EyeWear, which offers a huge selection of eyeglass frames, from the most fashionable to the most affordable, has made owning multiple pairs of glasses a lot less expensive for everyone — without sacrificing the great looks you want.
“We now offer ‘stacks’ of 3, 6, 9 or even up to 12 pairs of glasses, with or without prescription lenses, at the price of what you normally would pay for a single pair of glasses,” Jim says. “For example, our famous stack of three pairs can include a clear pair with anti-glare lenses for night-tine driving, another with Blue Shield treatment (perfect for use with electronic monitors) for the office and a pair of prescription sunglasses — all for just $99!”
The store also now offers a “Celebrity Stack,” where you pay for 12 pairs of glasses, get three pairs now and a new pair every month to complement your ever-changing look on social media for one low price.
As an introductory offer, 369 EyeWear/Sunglass KRATE is offering its customers two free lens upgrades — such as bifocal, tinted or polycarbonate material lenses — on every pair of glasses.
With pretty much everything going up in price these days, smarter shopping is required and the 369 “stacks” can help everyone save money on their eyeglasses.
Plus, unlike online stores, Lambrou is still on-site to custom-fit your glasses, and to make adjustments as you need them. Try getting that kind of service online!
And, 369 EyeWear has its own factory, so your prescription glasses will be done right and on-time the first time every time!
So, the next time you’re at the KRATEs, visit 369 EyeWear/Sunglass KRATE at 5827 Grand Oro Ln., #105, for the best deals, best service and best selection! For more information, call (813) 994-6700 or stop in the store and please tell Jim I sent you! — GN
