History
Established in 1946.
Founded in 1946 by Richard L. Kennedy Sr., after he returned from service as a Marine in the South Pacific, the family run business is still providing the finest eyewear, contact lenses and eye examinations in the New Haven and Shoreline community with stores also in Hamden, Old Saybrook, Branford, and Orange. Kennedy & Perkins has over two dozen trained staff members, more than half of whom have been with the company for 15 years or more, and 4 independent doctors of optometry with only one goal in mind, to make their customers look and see better.
