Own a Cohen's Fashion Optical Franchise
Join a 90-year-old optical retail brand bringing designer eyewear and professional eye care to communities nationwide.
Brand overview
Cohen's Fashion Optical was founded by Jack Cohen over 90 years ago and has grown into one of the country's most respected names in the optical industry. The Cohen family still oversees the franchise to ensure an exceptional consumer experience across every location, staying true to the founding philosophy of on-trend designer eyewear and professional eyecare services.
Franchise owners operate retail optical stores offering designer frames, sunglasses, professional eye exams, contact lenses, and hi-tech lifestyle lenses. You can choose from three paths: acquire an existing Cohen's location, open a new store in a prime retail spot, or convert your current optical store into a Cohen's franchise.
