History
Established in 1995.
Opened in 1995 when the owner, Jordan, moved to Baltimore for Cancer treatment at Johns Hopkins. He was looking for work and found that in the entire Baltimore City area there were no high-end optical shops in operation. Funded on a shoestring budget, the goal was to create a funky, eclectic, euro inspired optical boutique. A place that offered unique selections, old school attentive service, fair pricing and an alternative to the sameness and mediocrity found in the big-box mall retailers and insurance based shops. More than 26 years later and we are as passionate as ever about providing the best products and service available to our customers. If for any reason we are not achieving these goals please reach out to Jordan directly and he will address your concerns personally.
Meet the Business Owner: Jordan F.
Since age 17, the optical industry is the only job/career I have known in my adult life. The creation of Paris West was done with the goal of providing the absolute best combination of service, selection and value possible. In a time when the majority of the options out there are the impersonal chains with untrained staff, insurance mills or the online made in China knock-offs, my goal is provide a level of professionalism, personalized service and quality that they cannot match. Currently our shop stocks over 7000 unique pairs of eyeglasses and sunglasses. Our staff are experts on the latest in lens technology and coatings. If there is ever an issue I will be happy to resolve it in the fairest and quickest way possible. Please message me on here, call the shop or email me directly at pariswestjordan@gmail.com Thank you!
