Company History
1914
Sterling Optical first opened its doors in 1914. The first location was in the Financial District of New York City. Thirty-five successful years later, a second store opened in the Washington, D.C. area.
1966
In 1966, Sterling Optical embarked on the first of its expansion programs by acquiring IPCO, a retail optical company and public corporation. This acquisition made Sterling Optical one of the largest retail optical chains in the Northeast.
2016
Today, the company has nearly 70 locations nationwide.
A pioneer in the optical industry, Sterling Optical was one of the first to focus on developing proprietary private label brands and forming partnerships with frame vendors worldwide.
