National Retailers, Independent Providers, and Online Retailers: What's The Difference?

National retailers have multiple locations across the country and include Pearle Vision®, America’s Best®, Warby Parker®, Walmart® and more. Independent providers, on the other hand, are doctors with privately owned businesses. Some also carry the Exclusive Collection of frames. While online retailers have a digital presence, they may also have physical ‘brick-and-mortar’ locations.
