LOCAL OPTOMETRIST EXPANDS TO FIFTH PEARLE VISION IN NEW JERSEY

Pearle Vision, one of North America’s largest and most trusted licensed optical brands, has signed a licensing agreement with Dr. Randy Nissinoff to take over operations at the Pearle Vision location at 275 Route 22 East in Springfield, N.J. The eye care center was formerly a corporate-owned location. This is Dr. Nissinoff’s fifth location with the company.

“2013 was a great year for the Pearle Vision brand, and I am excited to expand with my fifth eye care center in New Jersey,” said Dr. Nissinoff, Pearle Vision licensee. “We are committed to offering the absolute best in eye care and we will ensure that the Springfield community continues to benefit from the brand’s extensive optical and retail experience.”

A veteran of the industry since 1991, Dr. Randy Nissinoff currently owns and operates four additional Pearle Vision locations throughout New Jersey; he has successfully integrated the multi-faceted strengths of a large retail optical leader with the diverse benefits of a private practice. Dr. Nissinoff’s Pearle Vision centers are located in East Brunswick, Toms River, Totowa and Paramus, N.J. He resides with his wife and two children in Colts Neck, N.J.

Pearle Vision has a significant legacy in the industry, providing genuine eye care to patients through a doctor-centric business model. The franchise has continued to outpace competitors by evolving to meet patients' changing needs and providing quality products and services they desire. With more than 610 centers located throughout North America, the company offers best-in-class eye care provided by neighborhood doctors who are skilled optometrists, a principle created by Dr. Stanley Pearle in 1961.

Pearle Vision is now seeking to grow its national footprint and has identified development opportunities in markets from coast-to-coast. In addition to new territories available for development, corporate-owned locations in markets such as Illinois, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York, Michigan, Florida and Washington also are available and have thriving operations with strong customer-bases.

To fuel its growth, the company is looking for optometrists interested in licensing opportunities. Ideal candidates for Pearle Vision ownership should possess a desire to join a trusted industry-leading brand and work within a proven system to provide exceptional eye care and superior patient service. Pearle Vision licensees can expect their initial investment to build a new center to cost approximately $200,000, in addition to a licensing fee of $30,000.
