Parks Optical made my search for a new pair of Gentle Monster (Korean eyewear brand) super easy since it's the only store in Ontario that carries it! They have two full walls of the latest styles and you are able to pick them off the wall to try them on. I liked this a lot because I didn't have to rely on the employee to pick each and every pair of sunglasses I was interested in trying on. I narrowed down to my favourite one by the end of the hour.
The employees were nice and left me to my own devices, which I liked. They were able to answer any questions I had but overall I didn't feel crowded or pressured at all.
They carry other designer brands including Gucci, Saint Laurent, Ray-Ban, and more. They also carry another Korean brand called Public Beacon but only for optical glasses, not sunglasses.
The employees know English, Korean and Chinese (I believe Cantonese?). So great if your English is not as strong and would like help in your native language! read more
