Marking a major milestone in Canada

Written byKim Grecia
Posting date: 17 Oct 2025

Just four years ago, Specsavers entered the Canadian market with a bold vision: make quality eyecare and eyewear more accessible, affordable, and rewarding, for both customers and optometrists. Today, we’re proud to celebrate the opening of our 200th store, a testament to the power of unified purpose, partnership, and support.

From day one, Specsavers has challenged the status quo. Our unique partnership model empowers independent optometrists and retail partners to own their future, backed by world-class clinical support, cutting-edge technology, and a collaborative community. This approach has supported career development in optometry while contributing to the continued advancement of care across the country. 

Our recent expansion into select Loblaws banner stores marks another exciting chapter in our journey. By bringing Specsavers into even more communities through one of Canada’s most trusted retail brands, we’re expanding access to affordable, high-quality eyecare and eyewear like never before.

As we celebrate this milestone, we remain focused on what matters most: our core purpose of changing lives through better sight. Join Canada’s fastest-growing optical retailer and discover unique partnership opportunities that make a real difference in communities across the country.
