# Sunglass Hut Locations — U.S. location dataset All 1,746 locations in the U.S., as one CSV: 16 fields per record, 50 states, file built September 20, 2026. $19 one-time, with up to 10 real rows free before you buy. Canonical URL: https://locationlists.com/data/sunglass-hut-stores Sunglass Hut is EssilorLuxottica's flagship specialty retail channel — the consumer-facing tip of a vertically integrated empire that also manufactures Ray-Ban, Oakley, and Persol, giving the chain unmatched margin control in a category where most retailers depend on wholesale markup. This dataset captures 1,627 locations across the US and Canada, spanning Sunglass Hut's distinctive mix of standalone mall stores, airport concessions, outlet centers, and shop-in-shop kiosks inside Macy's and other department stores. That format diversity makes the data unusually valuable for site-selection analysts benchmarking high-traffic retail corridors, DTC eyewear brands like Warby Parker mapping competitive density before opening new showrooms, and commercial real estate teams at mall REITs tracking specialty-retail tenant concentration. ## The figures - Records: 1,746 locations (1,627 US) - States: 50 - Coverage: U.S. - Fields: 16 - Price: $19 one-time, CSV download, commercial license (https://locationlists.com/license) - File built on September 20, 2026.

Building the same list by searching one area at a time tends to miss places, and a missed place looks like a gap in coverage that is not really there. ## Fields - `name`: Store name and number - `address`: Street address - `city`: City name - `state`: Two-letter state code - `zip`: 5-digit ZIP code - `country`: Country code (US) - `phone`: Store phone number - `latitude`: GPS latitude coordinate - `longitude`: GPS longitude coordinate - `url` - `geo_precision` - `county`: County, where the source publishes it - `county_fips` - `county_note` - `address_quality` - `zip4` ## Ask this list a question with a link No connector and no account; each link answers with the matching count, preview rows and the price for just that part. - [The whole list: add a city, state, ZIP code or distance](https://locationlists.com/find?dataset=sunglass-hut-stores) ## The same dataset, for machines - Record as JSON: https://locationlists.com/data/sunglass-hut-stores/dataset.json - Free sample, up to 10 real rows: https://locationlists.com/data/sunglass-hut-stores/sample.csv or https://locationlists.com/data/sunglass-hut-stores/sample.json - Buy link (opens Stripe Checkout): https://locationlists.com/data/sunglass-hut-stores/buy ## Questions ### How does Sunglass Hut's vertical integration under EssilorLuxottica affect what I can infer from this location data? Because EssilorLuxottica manufactures the dominant brands (Ray-Ban, Oakley, Persol) and controls Sunglass Hut retail, each location represents both a retail point and a proprietary distribution node — unlike an independent optical shop carrying wholesale goods. This means overlaying Sunglass Hut locations against independent eyewear retailers reveals where Luxottica has locked up premium foot traffic. If you need that overlap analysis against independent optical shops or DTC competitors like Warby Parker, LocationLists can build a custom dataset pairing both networks. ### I'm a real estate analyst at a mall REIT. Can I use this to benchmark specialty-retail tenant concentration across my portfolio? Yes — Sunglass Hut is one of the highest-density specialty tenants in Class A and Class B malls nationwide, so cross-referencing these 1,746 locations against your property list gives you a quick read on Luxottica's appetite for your assets. Because the dataset includes full street addresses, you can match locations to specific shopping centers and compare tenant presence across your portfolio versus competitors. For deeper analysis, LocationLists can run a multi-brand overlay combining Sunglass Hut with other specialty tenants already in our catalog. ### Does this dataset include both standalone stores and shop-in-shop or kiosk locations inside department stores? The dataset captures all location types that Sunglass Hut publishes to its store locator, which includes standalone mall stores, outlet locations, airport concessions, and shop-in-shop kiosks inside partners like Macy's. While there's no explicit 'format type' field, the street address often reveals the host venue (e.g., a Macy's address or airport terminal), and the store URL path can help disambiguate. If you need a clean format-type classification appended, LocationLists can enrich the file as a custom project. ### I'm launching a DTC sunglasses brand and want to find metro areas where Sunglass Hut is under-penetrated relative to population. How do I use this? Load the 1,746 locations into any GIS or BI tool, calculate locations per capita by CBSA or ZIP, and rank metros by density. Markets where Sunglass Hut has low penetration relative to household income and population — particularly Sunbelt metros experiencing rapid growth — are your white-space targets. LocationLists also offers white-space mapping as a service if you want a turnkey deliverable with demographic overlays included. ### How does the Sunglass Hut footprint compare to mass retailers like Target or CVS that also sell sunglasses? Sunglass Hut's 1,746 locations are purpose-built for premium eyewear in high-traffic retail corridors, whereas Target (~2,034 stores in our catalog) and CVS (~9,900) sell sunglasses as an afterthought in general-merchandise or pharmacy aisles. The comparison is useful for brand strategists deciding where to place premium SKUs versus commodity price points — a Sunglass Hut presence signals a trade area that supports $150+ average selling prices. We can run a proximity overlap report between Sunglass Hut and any of these mass-retail datasets on request. ### The sample data shows Canadian locations. What's the approximate US vs. Canada split? The dataset includes both US and Canadian stores as published by Sunglass Hut's global store locator. The vast majority — roughly 1,500+ — are US locations, with the remainder concentrated in major Canadian metros like Calgary, Toronto, and Vancouver. The country field lets you filter instantly for US-only or Canada-only analysis depending on your geographic scope.
