Pearle Vision looking for Puerto Rico franchisees
Pearle Vision optical retailer announced today plans to convert 11 of its neighborhood eye care centers in Puerto Rico from company-owned to licensee-owned. Locations are immediately available in Fajardo, Aguadilla, San Juan and Bayamon, as well as other markets located throughout the island.
Pearle Vision licensees can expect their initial investment to build a new center to cost approximately $200,000, in addition to a licensing fee of $30,000.
The company is currently seeking candidates interested in owning and operating their “own Pearle Vision to purchase an existing location with a thriving customer base,” the company said.
This is part of Pearle Vision’s 2014 expansion plans to re-license 40 to 45 additional company-owned centers. Ideal candidates for Pearle Vision ownership should possess a desire to join a trusted industry-leading brand and work within a proven system to provide exceptional eye care and superior patient service.
“Pearle Vision is poised to continue growing this year and has aggressive plans to convert corporate-owned neighborhood eye care centers to licensees,” said Tammy Reaves, vice president of licensing and development at Pearle Vision.
“We are seeking optometrists and opticians across Puerto Rico who have a desire to serve their communities and provide the best possible eye care to their patients to join our growing network of licensed operators,” she said.

- Fajardo

- Santa Rosa Mall in Bayamón
