Eyewear Brand Warby Parker Opens In Short Hills Mall

MILLBURN, NJ — A new eyeglass store is coming to The Mall at Short Hills and will offer a variety of optical and sun eyewear products for customers.

Warby Parker — a brand of prescription glasses and sunglasses based in New York City — will be opening a store at the Short Hills Mall on Saturday, Oct. 30. During opening weekend, customers can enjoy chocolate chip cookies from Liv Breads while supplies last.

The new store will feature a number of eyeglass collections, such as a Winter 2021 Collection, The Alphabet of Art by Warby Parker and a Kids Collection.

There will also be custom artwork from R. Gregory Christie — an award-winning children’s book illustrator and NJ-based lecturer — showcased in the store. His work for the store is titled “Daytime Splendor.”

Besides the various collections, other in-store offerings include “Scout by Warby Parker” — Warby Parker’s first-ever daily contact lens brand — and a “Clean My Lenses Kit with Anti-Fog Spray.”

Warby Parker offers a home try-on where customers can select five frames to test and have them shipped to their homes for free. Customers can try the frames out for five days and ship them back with a prepaid label. More information about this service can be found here.

There is also the option for a virtual try-on where people can use the Warby Parker iOS app, called Virtual Try-On, that lets customers try on various glasses styles virtually. More information can be found here.

Another app, called Virtual Vision Test by Warby Parker, allows users to update both glasses and contact lens prescriptions. This is not meant to replace a comprehensive eye exam, but more information can be found here. Customers will be charged $15 per prescription that is renewed.

Warby Parker is in network with United Healthcare and Spectra. Eligible members may be able to get a new pair of glasses for just their copay, which they said is normally $25 or less. They accept other forms of insurance, as well. Customers can ask a retail advisor or visit their website for more information.

The retailer has store locations across the U.S. and Canada.
