Eyewear and eye care company Oscar Wylee is ending the year with three new locations in Canada and plans to open 20 more stores in 2022. 
The Australian company debuted in Canada this year, opening at West Edmonton Mall in September, followed by 1,000-sq.-ft. stores this fall at Halifax Shopping Centre and Market Mall in Calgary. In December, Oscar Wylee will open at Sherway Gardens in Etobicoke, Ont. 
This latest 935 sq.-ft.-store in Sherway will reflect the brand’s strong design ethos, which is welcoming and modern, with an attention to detail.  The space is to feature light wood floors and fixtures, modern lightening and a calming vibe for shopping in style. 
The Canadian market entry comes on the back of the eyewear retailer opening more than 30 stores across Australia and New Zealand since January. “We are always looking for new location opportunities to expand access to quality eye care,” Kane Ford, the Director of Retail Operations at Oscar Wylee, said in a statement. 
It’s been an incredible journey for the family-run business that started as a small ecommerce operation and has evolved into a multinational organization since Jack Teoh and Bob Teoh purchased the company with their investment firm in 2012. At the time, the company sold glasses online, however the Teoh brothers opened the first physical stores in 2015 and since then, Oscar Wylee has grown exponentially, now operating more than 100 stores across Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, and, now, Canada. 
In 2022, Oscar Wylee is eyeing aggressive expansion in Canada, with a goal of opening 20 locations. Markets of interest include, Ontario, Alberta and British Columbia and ideal sizes are 700 to 1,000 sq. ft. in shopping malls and along busy high streets in proximity to fashion or general merchandise retailers.
The concept sets itself apart from the competition by offering more than glasses. Through its joint-venture program, the Oscar Wylee grows by partnering with optometrists to provide a one-stop-store—quality professional eye care and exams, as well as a modern and fashion-focused retail experience.  The brand is known for its “2 Pairs From $199” price point across its optical and sunglass range. 
Plus, with its private label signature frames and sunglasses, Oscar Wylee offers consumers unique items they can’t get elsewhere.
