The eyewear market generates revenue of $38.8 billion and is projected to grow at an annual rate of 2.11%. This growth is largely fueled by the rising use of digital devices and an aging population. The industry is typically viewed as stable and resistant through economic downturns, primarily because eyewear is a medical necessity and demand is supported by vision insurance.
MK Vision Center Franchise Overview
MK Vision Center originated at the corner of Mott and Bayard streets in Lower Manhattan, evolving from the Mott Optical Group—one of the most patient-focused, family-owned optical providers in New York City. Our commitment is to find the perfect eyewear for our clients.
In 2010, we launched the MK Vision Center brand to enhance our mission. We now offer not only eyewear and vision care services but also strive to inspire our clients’ visions.
Our comprehensive vision care services include frames, contact lenses, eye exams, and eyeglass repairs. Our franchisees will be trained as eyewear fit specialists and will offer styles from our proprietary brands—Suki, Siki, Mott and Bayard, Ma-ji, and T-Generation—designed specifically for clients with low nose bridges, a demographic that represents over 15% of the U.S. population, or approximately 20 million people. We also curate a selection of award-winning designer brands and independent eyewear lines.
Additionally, our franchisees will provide lenses from the most advanced manufacturers worldwide and will benefit from our cutting-edge automated point-of-sale systems, inventory management, electronic health records, and tele-optometry technologies to help them grow their businesses.
