As many of you know, a terrible fire destroyed the Gastown heritage building, the Winters Hotel, on April 11, 2022. A number of businesses, including Gowon Cafe, Bruce Eyewear, Lemongrass, Roldorf & Co, Nika Custom Imports, Flying Pig and the Australian Boot Company that were located in this structure have permanently closed.
We were unable to access our stores and shortly after the fire what remained of the building was torn down, ostensibly for safety reasons.
We fought hard to make our street beautiful, safe and welcoming. The Gastown community has been incredibly supportive, as have our community of clients, suppliers, family and friends. We regret the impact on our fellow businesses in the “collapse zone,” as they found creative ways to continue to do business. Thank you to the Vancouver Firefighters and the Vancouver Police for their hard work.
One day at a time.
Bruised but not broken.
Our Main Street store remains fully operational and we very much hope to see you there!
With gratitude, Nada xo

Curious about how to clean your eyewear without damaging your frames or lenses?
We are here for you. Here are some tips!
Clean your eyewear at least once daily to sanitize the surface!
We are thrilled to announce we have moved to an appointment based model for both of our locations! We will be able to schedule 30 minute appointments, but due to social distance requirements we are working with a limited number of staff in the stores.
To schedule an appointment we encourage you to:
Please feel free to browse online and send a list of styles you're interested in. Inventory is different at either location, so not all can be viewed at the same time.
1. Gastown (eyewear@bruceeyewear.com)
2. Main St (brucetoo@bruceeyewear.com)
Then we can work towards booking your 30 minute appointment.
