50 years of
Sunglass Hut
Born in 1971, Sunglass Hut started as a small family business running a kiosk in a Miami mall. After 50 years and over 3,000 stores worldwide, we’re celebrating where we’ve been and where we’re going – bringing that same family feel and welcoming spirit as the very first kiosk to our stores today.
