Specsavers: For Your Eyes and Ears
Specsavers is a retail chain selling prescription glasses, sunglasses, lenses, and hearing aids in-store and online. They also sell designer glasses and offer bespoke fittings. After an eye or hearing test with their qualified team members, suitable products will be recommended. Not only do they have designer brands, but they also sell their own range of products at more affordable prices.
They are a British-born company that now trades globally. In total, they have over 2,000 stores. These stores can be found on the high streets of major cities in the UK, Ireland, the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Finland, Spain, Australia, and New Zealand.
Many people know the brand from their catchy slogan, namely, “Should’ve gone to Specsavers.” It is used as a token statement to someone who misses something obvious or cannot see something in front of their eyes. On occasions, it is also used by football fans to voice their frustration at referees.
As mentioned, they run their array of stores in multiple countries within Europe and in Australia and New Zealand. The model of their business and the products offered remain relatively consistent at all international locations.
Their services may be fairly standardized, but their opening times are not. Some locations open as early as 7 am, while others may open later. Similarly, closing times can vary considerably, with establishments closing for the day anywhere between 5 pm and 11 pm. Specsavers opening times may vary on specific holidays such as New Year's Day, Good Friday, Easter Monday, Christmas, Boxing Day, and other bank holidays.

Spotting one of their stores is easy as they display their logo above the door. The logo depicts two eye shapes slightly overlapping in green with white writing over the top. The writing can vary between stating “Specsavers” and “Specsavers Opticians” depending on the age of the establishment.

They offer customers the chance to have their eyes tested and then get prescription glasses and contact lenses to aid their vision. They frequently offer targeted discounts in these areas with affordable eye-testing or frame deals, sometimes including 2-for-1 offers on frames or glasses. They also offer a range of sunglasses and contact lenses. You can find lines of glasses from designer brands, including designs by Alex Perry, Tommy Hilfiger, Superdry, Jeff Banks, Ellery, and others. They now offer most of their products online, as well as in-store.
More recently, they started offering hearing tests and stocking hearing aids as well. More than 800 of their stores now offer customers the chance to have their ears tested and treated. It remains to be seen if the “Should’ve Gone To Specsavers” slogan will also be used for the hearing campaigns.
Specsavers was established back in 1984 by married couple Doug and Mary Perkins in their hometown of Guernsey. The Queen included Mary Perkins in her honours list in 2007, giving her the title of Dame Commander of the British Empire. She was recognized for her commitment to community work in Guernsey and her skills in business—she is one of the few UK female billionaires. The company continues to grow and makes the most of their popular slogan by combining it with humorous advertising campaigns, often showing the funny side of poor eyesight. Furthermore, they have teamed up with Kylie Minogue to offer her line of stylish eyewear.
