History

The first retail store was established in 1924 in New York City. The brand name “Cohen’s Fashion Optical” was originally founded by Jack Cohen in 1926 with a vision of making anyone who needed prescription eyeglasses to look better, see better, and feel better about themselves. In 1927, Cohen started to sell a wide variety of eyewear from a pushcart in Orchard Street, New York. Cohen's is a franchise operated company since 1978.[1] In 2008, the estimated annual revenue was $121 million. Cohen’s Fashion Optical was the first to offer on-premise eye examinations with qualified Doctors of Optometry.

On March 3, 2008, Houchens Industries completes its acquisition over the Cohen’s with hopes of expanding the regional optical retail chain into a national chain. The current president, Robert Cohen will remain as president of the Cohen's division within Houchens.[2]

Corporate Overview

Today, Cohen’s is primarily operated within New York City and Puerto Rico with over 120 locations in 6 Eastern seaboard states including New York, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Connecticut, New Hampshire and Florida. [3]

Products

Cohen’s Fashion Optical predominantly sells prescription or non-prescription eyewear, as well as contact lenses and sunglasses in the latest European and American eyewear styles. Many featured products includes brands such as Prada, Calvin Klein, Gucci, Polo Ralph Lauren, Dior, and Ray-Ban.
