Village Optical Opening Its 5th Location In West Chester's Bradford Plaza

WEST CHESTER, PA — Regional family-owned optical services provider Village Optical is expanding to West Chester.

Village Optical will open a new location at Bradford Plaza in West Chester, Levin Management Corporation announced. The store at Bradford Plaza marks the fifth Pennsylvania location for this family-owned and operated vision care services provider.

The plaza on Downingtown Pike anchored by a Giant grocery store will now be home to Village Optical. The Bradford Plaza location joins existing Village Optical practices in King of Prussia, Phoenixville, Paoli, and Glenmoore.

All locations provide comprehensive services ranging from routine eye examinations to diagnosis, treatment, and management of diseases and disorders of the visual system. Village Optical also carries a large selection of eyeglass frames at all price points, including many designer options, for children and adults.

"We are excited for the opportunity to grow our practice in West Chester, which is a natural extension for us," said co-owner Marc Vallino. "Village Optical has been in business since 1996, and we pride ourselves on being a state-of-the-art full-service optometry practice that takes a patient-centered approach to eyecare. Bradford Plaza is a beautiful shopping center supported by excellent demographics and a great mix of tenants, including a Giant supermarket. The presence of a busy dental practice next door to our space, and the synergy that creates, also was very attractive to us."

In addition to the Giant supermarket, Bradford Plaza is home to AT&T, Dollar Tree, a Giant Fuel Station, Monkey Fish Toys, Orangetheory Fitness, PA Wine and Spirits, Petco, Walgreens, and a mix of local restaurants and service providers.

The 161,000-square-foot Bradford Plaza is exclusively leased and managed by Levin Management Corporation. Leasing representative Fred Younkin arranged the long-term, 2,300-square-foot Village Optical lease. Younkin said Village Optical represents a high-quality addition for Bradford Plaza. "Healthcare concepts that combine medical use with a retail component, as is the case with Village Optical, are excellent traffic drivers that contribute significantly to a retail property’s overall ‘destination’ atmosphere," he said.
