Business Comings & Goings: Complete Vision Care to Hold Trunk Show

Complete Vision Care, 6209 W. 95th St. in Oak Lawn, is taking a page out of the bridal industry handbook by hosting its own designer trunk show on Saturday (April 14).

“Normally, we carry what we think people will want,” said Dr. Sandra Bury, owner of Complete Vision Care. “The trunk show will be a fun experience for someone looking for something unusual and different.”

“If you have a certain look in mind, this is going to be the event for you,” said Bury, who started at Complete Vision Care in 1989 and took ownership in 2002.

“This will be a perfect way to shop for sunglasses,” she said. “A lot of doctors don’t offer much variety for sunglasses.”

“We will have several complete designer lines at the show,” said Bury. Designers coming on Saturday include Tiffany, Coach, D&G and Michael Kors.

“The Tiffany frames feature Swarovski crystal,” she said.

Bury said there will be doctors on duty to perform eye exams or customers can bring in their prescriptions.

“We will give a 20-percent discount for any purchases on Saturday,” Bury said. “We’re also raffling off an iPad2 and gift bags.”

Bury said her practice has been around since before 1951 and the trunk show is just a way for her to have some fun with her clients, some of whom go back that far.

“I’ve practiced all over and chose to live, work and shop in Oak Lawn,” she said. “I love this community.”

The trunk show may just be the beginning.

“I’m thinking we might have a ladies night with chocolates, wine and massages.”

The trunk show starts at 11 a.m. and runs to 2 p.m. “We’re extending our hours for the show. It will be three hours of craziness, I’m sure.”

The Huck Finn restaurant at 10501 S. Cicero Ave. reopened Monday after being closed for a few weeks for remodeling.

“We have a new color scheme, new tile, new wallpaper, new tables and booths,” said general manager George Hrysikos.

“We still have some details on the outside to take care,” he said. “Eventually, we’ll do some remodeling at our other two locations, too.”

Hrysikos said Huck Finn is still open 24 hours and still has its customized jumbo doughnuts available.
