An Optical Experience

1977

The beginning

M.L Soulliere Opticians opened on Ouellette on March 17, 1977 when Mike Soulliere started his Independent Opticianry practice and began serving Windsor/Essex county residents by providing exceptional service and only the best in eyewear.

1977-2020

Building the business

M.L Soulliere Opticians remained a fixture on Ouellette Avenue for nearly 43 years and was a family business in every sense of the word. Mike, his brother Tom who ran the in-store lab as well as Mike's son, Jeff joined the business to continue on the tradition.

March 2020

Next stage...

On April 31st, 2020 we said farwell to our Ouellette location and moved the Optical to our new address at 3055 Dougall Ave. A brand refresh, a new space and new collections energized our family run business into this next exciting chapter.

Testimonials

Google and Facebook reviews go a long way to help small businesses like ours stay fresh in people's minds. New clients often drop in solely based off a Google/Facebook review and we can't express how much we appreciate the impactful words that are expressed. If you had a great experience we ask that you share that with others so that we can continue to build our community at Soulliere Optical! We also believe that word of mouth is the best compliment. Thank you.

Fantastic selection of high quality frames from some of the best designers. Great customer service. Highly recommend this family run, local business with a long history of excellent service. The new location on Dougall is worth a visit!

Great small business I have dealt with Jeff's father Mike since 1973. Jeff took over from his father and moved location to South Windsor recently. Great selection, personal service and care continues after your purchase. I would never go anywhere else.
