HENRY COUNTY, Ga. - Luxottica Group, a leading designer eyewear manufacturer, is planning to create 1,000 jobs in Henry County with the addition of its North American distribution facility.
According to a press release from Governor Nathan Deal, the expansion will use the company’s new lens service model in which both frames and lenses are assembled and distributed from a single location in Henry County by the end of 2017.
The company said in a press release that move will allow them “to produce and deliver a complete pair of prescription frames of the highest quality and perfect fit anywhere in the U.S. within 24 to 48 hours.”
The new jobs will include positions in administration, production and distribution, the release said.
Luxottica’s portfolio includes proprietary brands such as Ray-Ban, Oakley, Vogue Eyewear, Persol, Oliver Peoples and Alain Mikli, as well as licensed brands including Giorgio Armani, Burberry, Bulgari, Chanel, Coach, Dolce&Gabbana, Michael Kors, Prada, Ralph Lauren, Tiffany & Co., Valentino and Versace.
Trump’s Fault? ;)
Still not tired of winning! :)
You know Liz DiGiandomenico or any of the Bonniol family?
Their kids go to school with mine in Cincinnati.
My wife was a store manager, so I doubt it.
how could they have 1,000 people at a warehouse ?
They produce almost all the eyeglasses in the world. If there is a true “monopoly” in the world, they’re it. If you wear eyeglasses or sun glasses, they probably made them, no matter who you bought them from.
My first question was whether this means Lenscrafters is going to upgrade from one hour service to 48 hour service.
Of course, that one hour service never worked out for me. I usually got a one week to 10 day turnaround at Lenscrafter. I've switched to Walmart now. Much, much cheaper for service that is just as fast.
Wal-Mart buys old frames (2 - 5 years) from them. You’re still buying Luxottica. Same with those Internet companies.

Let’s hope it goes better for them than it did for “The Jerk”
Just a continuation of the O’BungHole economy
LOL!!!
Not yet tired of winning.
It sounds like they’re doing a lot more than just storing frames. They’re also making lenses to Rx and assembling them into the frames, then shipping them out. And given the 24 hour logistics, this is a 24/7 operation.
For that many brands, this big of a facility, I can see 1000 easily.
Why is America Great Again? Trump!
