Bonni and Jessie

Jessie and Bonni, cousins and co-owners, opened G is for Glasses in 2014 with a simple vision: to make eye care welcoming, fun, and inclusive. Their Winnipeg shop is a place where people not only feel comfortable during an eye exam, but also leave genuinely excited about being bespectacled.

At G is for Glasses, you’ll find distinctive eyewear, exceptional service, and respectful, personalized care. Most of all, you’ll meet two people who genuinely love helping humans play glasses in their little shop.
