IOLLA to open a permanent home in

Aberdeen

Independent Scottish eyewear brand IOLLA has announced it will open its first permanent showroom in Aberdeen this autumn, bringing its signature £85 all-inclusive prescription glasses to 1-5 George Street.


The opening marks IOLLA's eighth showroom across the UK and its first in the North East, expanding the Glasgow-founded brand's retail footprint following continued growth across Scotland and England.


Known for its transparent pricing model, IOLLA offers quality glasses with prescription lenses and lens thinning included for one fixed price of £85, removing the complicated pricing structures often associated with buying glasses.


The decision to open in Aberdeen follows strong demand from customers across the region and reflects the brand's ambition to establish a permanent presence in one of Scotland's largest cities.

"We've wanted to open in Aberdeen for a long time,"


says Stefan Hunter, Founder of IOLLA.


"As someone from Inverness, it's always been important to me that IOLLA reaches every part of Scotland. If we're serious about being a truly Scottish brand, then Aberdeen has always been a natural next step.”


He continues -


"IOLLA was built around the idea that great design and exceptional service shouldn't come at an inflated price. We know people in Aberdeen value great quality, and we're excited to bring our straightforward approach to eyewear to the North East.


We believe in investing in city centres, backing local communities and creating showrooms people want to visit.



By opening in Aberdeen, we hope we're playing a small part in that story and showing confidence in the city. If that encourages more independent brands to do the same, then that's something we'd be really proud of.”


"We can't wait to open our doors, become part of the local community and welcome customers into our newest showroom."


Located at 1- 5 George Street, the new showroom will stock a range of IOLLA’s prescription glasses and sunglasses; the space has been designed to reflect IOLLA's distinctive showroom experience, combining considered interiors with a relaxed, welcoming environment where customers can browse frames without pressure.


IOLLA Aberdeen is set to open in August 2026.
