The interior of the store has a classic library vibe: suspended globe lighting, comfy leather seating, and colorful books displays of books, and their full collection of eyeglasses and sunglasses out in the open on oak shelving.
The reference desk is where you go for styling advice, order pickups and frame adjustments.
Similar to the Apple Store, Warby Parker associates will be there to check you out on a tablet that uses their proprietary point-of-sale system. If you’re scared to pull the trigger on a purchase, associates can also send along a digital overview of the frames you tried on during your visit, or any measurements they may have taken.

Warby Parker adds a huge name brand to Charlotte retail.
Their current 40 retail locations are generally in majorly retail focused cities like Seattle, New York, Chicago, LA, DC, etc., so them coming to Charlotte is kind of a big deal.
