VISAKHAPATNAM: Titan Eye+, the third major line of business from Titan Industries, on Sunday opened its first showroom in the city opposite the World of Titan in Dwarakanagar.

Speaking to media persons on the occasion, National Retail Head of the company Yeshwant Kumar said that this was also the first in coastal Andhra, fourth in the State and 25th in the country. The exclusive eyewear store offered end-to-end eye care solutions where the customers could browse, select and buy, choosing from a wide range of eyewear with latest fashion, style and comfort.

Style consultancy

What was different from others here was style consultancy to help select the right frames, international designs and style trends, wide range of distinctive, attractive frames and zero-error eye testing in state-of-the-art optometry clinics.

It was also the only showroom offering warranty for all products selling branded products with specially trained retail and clinic staff in attendance, he said. “Titan is for all age groups. We also sell sunglasses, which will be popular in Vizag city. We follow the latest ISO standards and we also have a tie-up with Sankara Nethralaya for training of retail and clinical staff,” he disclosed.

Franchisee Raja Uppalapati said during his two decades of association with Titan, there were two aspects before and after Titan. Now the third is eye care and I am sure it will be a big success like in the case of watches and jewellery,” he said.
