The entrance looked like it lead to the car park or a toilet. Not the best unit.... ..they seem to be an indie opticians / sunglasses retailer. |

Nope, closed business as of Thursday night. The website never got off the ground, along with the business.

Just worked out (from my limited Italian from watching the Montalbano series
 ) that Ottica must be the Italian for "optics", which would make sense.

Did anyone on this forum ever go into Ottica? Since Parkway opened I have spent money in four units (Costa, Cafe Rouge, Lakeland and John Lewis) and been in a couple of others (Barclays and Debenhams). Am I typical or are you all using the place every time you go into town?
