Eyewear and eye care company Oscar Wylee is celebrating the opening of its sixth store in Canada, less than a year after making its debut here. 
The new 1,094-sq.-ft. store is now open at Oshawa Centre, Durham Region’s largest shopping centre. Oscar Wylee is in good company at the two-storey shopping mall, which is located in Oshawa, Ont., just east of Toronto. The mall is home to more than 230 high-profile tenants. 
This is just the beginning for Oscar Wylee’s Canadian vision—three more locations will be announced soon and more growth is on the horizon.
The Australian company debuted here in 2021, opening at West Edmonton Mall in September, followed by 1,000-sq.-ft. stores at Halifax Shopping Centre and Market Mall in Calgary. In December, Oscar Wylee opened at Sherway Gardens in Etobicoke, Ont. 
All stores embody Oscar Wylee’s strong design ethos, which is welcoming and contemporary:  The spaces feature light wood floors and fixtures, with modern lightening for a stylish and professional shopping experience. 
Globally, Oscar Wylee is on fire—it’s an impressive trajectory for the family-run business that started as a small ecommerce operation selling glasses online-only. Brothers Jack and Bob Teoh purchased the company in 2012, opening the first physical stores in 2015. 
Since then, Oscar Wylee has gone from strength to strength, now operating more than 125 stores across three countries. The eyewear company looks to the long term with a strong vision of continued growth.
In Canada, markets of interest include, British Columbia, Alberta, Ontario and Quebec.  Ideal spaces are 750 to 1,100 sq. ft. (20 ft. wide) in shopping malls and along busy high streets in proximity to fashion or general merchandise retailers.
This isn’t just a eyewear store: The concept sets itself apart through its joint-venture program, whereby it partners with optometrists to provide a one-stop-store that offers professional eye care and exams, as well as a modern and fashion-focused retail experience. The brand is known for its attractive prices and designs. Plus, with its private label signature frames and sunglasses, Oscar Wylee offers unique items shoppers can’t get elsewhere. 
The excitement continues and Think Retail is thrilled to work with the Oscar Wylee team. This is an ideal tenant with deep experience and a strong vision for growth. For more information, contact the Think Retail team.
