Warby Parker to Open Fifth Montgomery County Location

Warby Parker is preparing to open a new store at the Shoppes of Burnt Mills shopping center at 10729 Columbia Pike in Silver Spring. The eyewear retailer has signed on to take over the space formerly occupied by AT&T, located between Starbucks and a nail salon.

The upcoming store will be Warby Parker’s fifth location in Montgomery County, joining existing stores at Bethesda Row, Westfield Montgomery Mall, Downtown Crown in Gaithersburg, and Pike & Rose in North Bethesda.

Founded in 2010, Warby Parker specializes in prescription eyeglasses, sunglasses, and contact lenses, while also offering eye exams at select retail locations. The company designs its own eyewear and sells directly to customers through its website and physical stores, rather than relying on traditional third-party eyewear brands.

Construction on the new Silver Spring location is expected to begin soon. An opening date has not yet been announced.
