A leader in crafting stylish, high-quality, and innovative eyewear at affordable prices. Known for their speed and convenience to make the process of buying glasses fun and enjoyable Eyeglasses are a useful and oftentimes necessary product for any lifestyle.

Eyeglasses which prevent and/or reduce the systems of screen related eye strain are high in demand as people work at home and spend long hours in front of a screen. Eyeglasses provide not only high visibility but also high UV reduction for outdoor activities such as jogging and recreational sports. Toronto’s first JINS flagship store would be a great new addition to the Queen Street West community. Located in downtown Toronto on John Street right off of Queen Street West. Easily accessible by public transportation and situated near some of Toronto’s most popular landmarks, including City Hall and the Toronto Sign at Nathan Phillips Square, the Art Gallery of Ontario (AGO), OCAD University ’s Sharp Centre for Design, an amazing view of the CN Tower and much more!

Exploring levels of transparency to distinguish a separation between public and private sections - which is extremely effective during social distancing. The staff and the customers should have limited interaction while still maintaining a good shopping experience. Separated in three sections, public, semi private, and private, allow for smooth customer flow. The open floor plan and double high ceiling highlight the both the length and height of the space. Promoting increased air circulation to encourage product browsing in an open space. The channel glass brings soft natural light while maintaining privacy With new social distancing regulations to limit social interaction- shopping is a new experience. Contactless ordering through personal cellphones or on-site technology. In store pick-ups are via on-site shelves that are regularly disinfected. A second floor shared gallery space allow customers to admire the work of local artists with their new prescription glasses. The rentable pop-up kiosk could provide an area for small businesses to share their product and or provide alternative services, such as a small matcha tea cafe, or small leather goods etc.
