Empowering Optical Excellence: A Day at Accu Lab, Illinois
Empowering Optical Excellence: A Day at Accu Lab, Illinois
Today was not just a day; it was a revelation at Accu Lab in Illinois. I had the absolute pleasure of meeting Chris Brundies, a U.S. veteran and the proud owner of Accu Lab since its inception in 2005. Why is this lab so special? It stands as the last bastion of independence among surfacing labs in Illinois, a testament to resilience and commitment.
Choosing Independence, Crafting Quality: For those running small, independent optical shops who champion the cause of local support, Accu Lab is a kindred spirit. They've opted to remain 100% independent, with the exception of Transition lenses. You won't find brand names like Shamir, Essilor, Zeiss, or Hoya in their repertoire. Instead, they offer something equally, if not more, valuable – outstanding quality in their house brands, IOT, and Seiko single vision and progressive lenses, along with stock lenses at unbeatable prices.
The Power of House Brands: As a self-proclaimed optical nerd, I must confess, house brand progressives at Accu Lab have left an indelible mark on my high myopic, prism-influenced, progressive-wearing heart. They stand toe-to-toe with big names like Varilux X, Zeiss Individual 2, Shamir Auto Intelligence, and Hoya Lifestyle 2. The point is, don't knock it until you've tried it. In this era of optical perfection, brand loyalty is fading, and Accu Lab is here to prove it.
Surprising Savings, Caring Atmosphere: Worried about your pocket? As a consultant who's seen behind the curtain of many independent optical shops, the savings at Accu Lab might just surprise you. While the industry norm hovers around $250-$550 for progressive lenses with AR, Accu Lab's bills come in at a refreshing $70-$200. It's time to reclaim that profit margin!
Beyond the lenses, there's an unsung hero in the form of an adorable beagle/dachshund mix that roams the hallways, adding a touch of warmth. Accu Lab isn't just a lab; it's a caring community. With a spotless facility, a water recycling system, and a team that functions like a family, it's no wonder they've never lost a frame.
Become a Part of the Accu Lab Experience: Curious to witness the magic firsthand? Reach out, and I'll help you schedule a tour of the lab. I'm not just singing their praises; I've become a sales partner because I believe in their commitment to excellence. I'm here to assist with any hiccups and ensure you get the best deals for your office.
Unlocking Savings with Independence and Consultation: Why go independent? Because it's a journey toward consistent savings on every lab bill. Accu Lab ensures your jobs don't get botched, providing a reliable alternative to big-name labs that sometimes cut corners. Every optical shop has financial gaps, and that's where I come in as a consultant. With two decades of experience, I bring an external perspective, helping you seize every financial opportunity without the overhead of hiring a new team member. The return on investment is not just substantial; it's downright phenomenal. And yes, you can write me off as a tax-deductible expense – a win-win!
Cheers to Accu Lab, where every lens tells a story of dedication, quality, and a little bit of canine charm.
Check out how welcoming they are!
