Flex Spending Deadline / Next Week: CLOSED (Sort of)

This is just a reminder from your friendly Wicker Park/Ukrainian Village neighborhood optician: You have until the end of the day on Saturday to use your FSA/HSA/Flexible Spending funds before they expire.  We’ll be open from 1 to 8 everyday until then, so drop by and make the most of your benefits before they vanish.  Remember that non-prescription sunglasses are fair game!

In other news, we’ll be taking a few days off next week to enjoy some post-holiday family time.  We’ll be closed on January 1st, open on the 2nd, and closed again from the 3rd to the 6th.  See you soon!

FRIDAY: Coyote’s 31st Birthday Sale SATURDAY/SUNDAY: Closed

While the majority of Wicker Park and the Ukrainian Village heads home for the holidays this weekend, we’ll be holding down the fort in Chicago.  We’ll still be working hard, prepping for the last week of “Flex Spending Season,” as December is known in the optical industry…but that doesn’t mean we can’t have a little fun too.  Coyote happens to be turning 31 at the end of this week, so we’re having a celebration at the shop this Friday!  Free adult beverages and awesome snacks from Pastoral will be on hand, and all in-stock frames will be discounted by 31%.  And for those of you who can’t make it, we’ll be offering the same discount on all ophthalmic frames and sunglasses in the Online Shop as well, on Friday and Saturday only.  Just enter the coupon code “ELDERLY” at checkout, and you’ll get the discount.  Happy Holidays, and we hope to see you Friday!

(P.S.  The shop will be closed on the 24th and 25th)
