Open for Business!

Blink Optometry is now open for business! I can't believe we are actually doing this - it has been quite a ride, and it's not over yet! Kind of funny that today's date is 8-9-10, maybe its going to bring us luck!

Here are a few photos of the journey
They way it was.....



All of the old stuff is torn down

Walls going up

Dust in the air

And Now..... The finished product!

My very talented brother, Erich, came up with the logo.
I have to show the window sign from the inside out - because when the sun isn't shining you can't see the Big lettering from the outside - this will be fixed in a few weeks.

Mr. Tom Lund, certified Optician in the background. We are very lucky to have him working for us, he has already brought in business. Grand total for the 1st day = 2 pairs of glasses and one eye exam! Hey - it's a start!

We still have a few things to do, and a couple of items on order! The website (www.blinkduluth.com) should be up and running within the week. A special thank you to everyone who helped us get this project up and running, from watching Sam to helping pick out colors - we love you!

I am so proud of my wonderful husband, he has worked very hard the past few months! I am one lucky lady!!!!
