 PROFILE
U.S. Vision can't take its eyes off department stores. The company operates 625 licensed and company-owned optical centers, mostly within department stores, in 47 states and in Canada. Its centers sell prescription eyewear, contact lenses, sunglasses, and accessories and usually feature independent optometrists. More than 60% of its locations are in JCPenney stores; U.S. Vision also operates in Sears, Marshall Field's, Strawbridge's, and Hudson's Bay. About one-third of the company's sales come from managed vision plans. After securing 24% of U.S. Vision's stock, Norcross Investment Group launched a hostile takeover that was rejected; however a new agreement has been reached to sell the company to Norcross.
