Continuing a family tradition of eyecare in Winnipeg
3 minute read Tuesday, Feb. 17, 2026Just one year after opening its first store in Winnipeg, Specsavers has doubled its presence in the province, growing from seven stores to 16. Specsavers stores are owned and run by local eyecare experts such as Lorenzo Sciarretta, Retail Partner at the Winnipeg West and Portage Avenue in Real Canadian Superstore locations. Now a Registered Optician, Lorenzo began his career as an optometrist in Italy.
“My father was an optometrist who owned four stores,” Lorenzo explains. “I started working with lenses and frames at the age of 10 and knew this was where my career would be.”
After arriving in Canada, Lorenzo shifted to opticianry and worked for several companies before joining Specsavers last year. The Specsavers difference, he says, is making great quality products and care accessible to everyone.
“My goal is to provide customers with a product that is more than a vision aid – it’s a fashion statement, an accessory for every day,” he says.
