Minneapolis-based Eyebobs, which started as an online retailer, has opened its seventh bricks-and-mortar location.

The newest store is at Westfield Montgomery Mall in Bethesda, MD, Chain Store Age reports. It’s the fourth location to open this year.

Mike Hollenstein, CEO of the company, told Chain Store Age that other locations are under consideration.

“Eyebobs is dedicated to helping every customer frame their personality and be their true and authentic selves. Shopping should be a fun experience and we can’t wait to better serve our customers in the Washington, D.C., market with this new store,” he was quoted saying.

INVISION reported on Eyebobs last year, when it announced plans for two stores: one in the Mall of America in Minneapolis and the other in Orlando, FL.

For years after its founding in 2001, the company concentrated on stylish reading glasses. It began selling prescription eyewear in 2017.
