Job description

Optician / Retail Partner Ownership - Fort Saskatchewan, AB

Company: Specsavers

Retail Partner – Establish your optical store and make your mark on community eye health

Specsavers is the world’s largest, privately-owned optical retailer. Our journey began over 40 years ago in the UK, with visionary optometrists Doug and Mary Perkins. Today, we support over 2,600 healthcare businesses spanning 10 countries in our network, passionately caring for more than 42 million patients and customers worldwide.

Closer to home, we now have 270 optical businesses across English speaking Canada, through a combination of freestanding stores and the newly launched concession stores.

Our concession stores are the result of a strategic collaboration with Loblaws, aimed at building a nationwide optical network that delivers Canadians exceptional value, enhanced clinical care, and outstanding customer service. These new Specsavers businesses are integrated within existing brands of Loblaws grocery stores, offering customers and patients convenient access to comprehensive eye exams, prescription eyewear, contact lenses, and specialized eye care services.

Start your own optical store

All Specsavers partners have a dedicated support team to make the daunting aspects of ownership straight forward. As a Retail Partner, you can be a business owner without worrying about the little things so you can do what you love most – exceeding customer expectations through a remarkable customer journey, end-to-end.

What are the benefits of becoming an owner?

• Flexibility to steer your career and store with the support and resources of Specsavers.
• Receive a guaranteed market-rate salary and earn 40% dividends from the Specsavers retail store.
• An opportunity to set a benchmark for patient care and grow a loyal customer base by earning patient trust through the Specsavers customer journey, focusing on prioritizing the customer and not profit.
• Receive comprehensive business support to help your business become successful in areas such as technology, marketing, clinical support, and accounting.
• We use the latest clinical technology, rigorous testing, and extensive quality assurance processes to develop our lenses, and collaborate globally to provide a great range of frames, so that you can support your customers with a full range of top-quality products that you’re proud to offer.
• Being part of a company that values the role of opticians by putting opticianry at the core of our business model along with optometry.

You have a demonstrated history of creating exceptional customer experiences in your previous optical management role – bonus if you’re a licensed/registered optician or contact lens practitioner.
