(PRESS RELEASE) MASON, OH – Pearle Vision, a leading national premium eye care brand, announced a strategic independent optometrist conversion program, Pearle Vision Ignite. This new offering is tied to Pearle Vision’s commitment to growing the brand in new communities throughout the country offering all neighborhoods genuine eye care.
An attractive opportunity for independent eye care practice owners, Pearle Vision seeks to expand with qualified optometrists who embody a contagious entrepreneurial spirit and have passion for providing genuine eye care. The conversion program is an ideal opportunity for independent practices seeking greater structure, support and marketing expertise.
Pearle Vision Ignite is launching at Optometry’s Meeting presented by the American Optometric Association (AOA), June 20 – 23. Pearle Vision will be at booth #1233.
“We have spent a lot of time analyzing the franchise opportunity and learning about how our eye care centers perform compared to independent eye care offices,” said Josh Robinson, vice president of franchise development for Pearle Vision. “We believe the Pearle Vision network can be of great assistance when it comes to supporting these practices to perform at a higher level. With the new program, owners who make the switch will remain independent and operate their practices as they do today, but with the backing of a comprehensive franchise infrastructure powered by more than five decades of market intelligence. We want our owners to be able to do what they love and practice as they see fit, all the while embracing and developing their entrepreneurial spirit by partnering with Pearle Vision.”
