Dear Bellevue and surround- ing area residents, It’s hard to believe it has been a year since LensCrafters left the Bellevue Mall. It was a very difficult transition for all of us. Many of you have called to find out where all the employees had gone. We were all very fortunate to be trans- ferred to other locations. Many of the Bellevue employees are now at the Mall at Greenhills. We really appreciate the extra effort that so many of you have given to continue to come and support us. LensCrafters plans to return to the Bellevue area when all things come together for the new Bellevue Center. In the meantime we would love to see you in Greenhills. If we can be of any assistance please give us a call and see our ad in today’s paper. With sincere appreciation, Kristi Hurst D.P.O. General Manager Ken Donald D.P.O.
