FOLLOWING its £300,000 refurbishment, Specsavers on Union Street held a celebratory re-launch evening to showcase its new look.
Guests from Aberdeen Inspired, Developing Young Workforce (DYW), Vision Scotland, and Aberdeen & Grampian Chamber of Commerce, as well as a selection of social media influencers joined in on the store’s celebrations, along with players from the inclusive Taexali Rugby team which the store proudly sponsors.
Guests were given a tour of the store’s new facilities, with some receiving Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) scans from some of the resident optometrists. Others had the opportunity to test their ear health in the new audiology room where Specsavers’ audiologist demonstrated some of the specialist testing equipment.
The guests also heard more about the ways in which the store engages with the local community with initiatives such as its annual homeless clinic, which has developed into a nationwide Specsavers initiative. The store’s directors discussed the proudest achievements of the 70-strong team and their commitment to Union Street as a locally owned business with one eye on the future.
During the evening, attendees were treated to fantastic new eyewear, complimentary of the store, with everyone loving their new looks.
Ophthalmic Director Laura Campbell commented: “It was great to be able to showcase our new look and extensive offerings in the heart of the city. We are really proud of the enhancements we have made and are delighted with the feedback we received from everyone on the night. Some of the guests had never visited us before, so showing off our upgraded facilities and the services our Union Street team can offer was exciting. This investment demonstrates our continued commitment to bringing a first class service to our customers and the community.”
