U. SAUCON TWP., Pa. – A popular retailer’s new Lehigh Valley location is in sight.
Promenade Saucon Valley, an open-air lifestyle shopping center in the Center Valley section of Upper Saucon Township, on Thursday announced the addition of Warby Parker, a premier eyewear brand known for its stylish, designer-quality glasses and innovative approach to vision care.
The new 1,559-square-foot store is expected to open in 2027 between Athleta and Dandelion.
Promenade Saucon Valley is located at 2845 Center Valley Parkway in Upper Saucon Township.

The space was previously home to shoe retailer Johnston & Murphy.
Since Warby Parker’s launch in 2010, the company has “pioneered ideas, designed products, and developed technologies that help people see — from designer-quality prescription glasses (starting at $95) and contacts to eye exams and vision tests,” according to a message on the business’ website.
There are more than 300 Warby Parker stores across the United States and Canada, with another Lehigh Valley location having opened in 2022 at the Lehigh Valley Mall’s outdoor lifestyle center.
Warby Parker is a “mission-driven lifestyle brand focused on making exceptional vision care simple, accessible and enjoyable,” according to a news release.
The company offers designer-quality prescription glasses and sunglasses, contact lenses, eye exams and other vision services, combining thoughtful design, innovative technology and a customer-first experience.
Warby Parker’s mission is to inspire and impact the world with vision, purpose and style.
Through its Buy a Pair, Give a Pair program, a pair of glasses is distributed to someone in need for every pair of glasses or sunglasses sold.
“We’re thrilled to welcome Warby Parker to Promenade Saucon Valley,” said Patrick Turner, Promenade Saucon Valley’s general manager. “Warby Parker is a highly recognized brand that brings together style, quality and an innovative approach to vision care, making it a great addition to our growing mix of retailers and services. We’re excited to bring the Warby Parker experience to our guests and look forward to welcoming them to the center.”

The new Warby Parker store will join a host of other new Promenade Saucon Valley tenants.

The new pet store is expected to open this fall in Suite 420, between American Eagle Outfitters and Claire’s, Turner previously told 69 News.
The space previously housed The Hive, a former market carrying hand-crafted items from local vendors, which closed earlier this year.
Individuals will be able to shop a wide array of pet supplies, including toys, food and treats and accessories, Turner said.
Also coming soon to the Upper Saucon center is a new restaurant at the site of the former Bar Louie location, which closed in August 2025.

The restaurant space, at 2960 Center Valley Parkway Suite 700 in Center Valley, also once housed Shula’s Steak House.
