Pearle Vision Signs Area Development Agreement For Sacramento Market

Sachin Patel plans to open three Pearle Vision EyeCare Centers to serve the areas of Sacramento, Roseville, Rockland and Elk Grove.

“I am passionate about understanding what our customers need so that we can help them improve their lives,” Patel said. “Pearle Vision’s priority to ‘take care of the people’ aligns perfectly with how I approach my work. That’s what drew me to the company.”

A former sales and marketing executive, Patel previously introduced the Eyeglass World concept in the Sacramento area and grew it to the No. 1 store in the company with no previous optical experience. Additionally, his wife owns a LensCrafters sublease, where Sachin Patel is responsible for business operations, including recruiting optometrists, human resources and payroll, patient satisfaction and retention strategies.

“Sachin’s success in driving a new-to-market store to the top of the company demonstrates his strong leadership, commitment to patient care and passion for driving results,” said Josh Robinson, vice president of licensing and development at Pearle Vision. “We are excited for Sachin to launch his new EyeCare Centers and deliver high-quality vision care to the Sacramento community.”

Pearle Vision licensed owners with an area development agreement are granted exclusive territory rights and pay a reduced franchise fee and lower royalty fees.

Pearle Vision was founded in 1961 by Dr. Stanley Pearle, who began the concept of one-stop, total eye care with the opening of the Pearle Vision Center in Savannah, Ga. Dr.

Pearle combined complete eye exams with an extensive selection of eyewear. In 1981, Pearle Vision began offering franchise opportunities to select doctors and opticians. Today, with more than 500 EyeCare Centers located throughout the United States, Canada and Puerto Rico, Pearle Vision is built around a doctor-centered business model with a primary focus to deliver genuine eye care to patients and become the neighborhood trusted source for all their eye care and eye wear needs.
