Eyeglass Boutique
Owners: Shabnam & Mohamed Merali
Year Established: 1985
Shabnam and Mohamed Merali are dedicated vision care providers who have given their clients personal attention and knowledgeable advice for the last 30 years. When we asked why they chose Kitsilano to start their business, Mohamed replied “What’s there not to love about Kits? Awesome people, lots of small stores everything available within walking distance.” As for their business of choice? “A personal passion,” he says, “we loved eyeglasses and wanted to own our own business.” Clearly that passion and entrepreneurship matched with their one-on-one approach has built a strong foundation.
