Company Overview
MintVision is an independent optical boutique in Oakville. We carry independent and designer eyewear and offer eye exams with our optometrists. We’re a small team that cares about doing things properly: great service, an organized store and customers who leave happy. Our selection includes designers like Miu Miu, Tom Ford, Saint Laurent, Lindberg, alongside more independent labels you won’t find at the big chains.
We’re looking for an experienced, organized person to own the front of our store: patient flow, orders, pickups, insurance and day-to-day admin. You’ll be the person who keeps MintVision running smoothly and the first person patients meet. You’ll also help patients find frames they love, so a genuine eye for style matters. We’ll teach you our eyewear and styling approach.
