Our store
The Specsavers Sutton Coldfield store is a busy and well-established optical and audiology practice located in the heart of Sutton Coldfield town centre.

Colleagues work collaboratively in a fast-paced environment, supporting customers throughout their eye and hearing care journey, from booking appointments through to product selection and aftercare. The store benefits from excellent transport links, with Sutton Coldfield railway station within walking distance, providing regular services to Birmingham city centre and surrounding areas. Multiple local bus routes also serve the town centre, making the store easily accessible.

Alongside experienced optical and audiology professionals and dedicated retail colleagues, the team works together to deliver an outstanding customer experience.
