G is for Glasses

Jessie and Bonni are cousins, and co-owners of G is for Glasses. They opened G with the intention of creating a welcoming, fun and inclusive environment in Winnipeg where people feel comfortable having their eyes examined and become genuinely excited about being bespectacled. G is for Glasses exclusively sells independent frames and lenses, meaning we are not dealing with the huge companies that typically dominate the optical industry. Every frame line we carry is backed by fantastic, creative and friendly people with whom we have connections with. We are an independent small business, and by supporting us you are in turn supporting other independent businesses within our industry. Eyewear is special, it is worn every single day on your face, and allows you to see the world clearly. What’s not to love about that?
