@BrambleBearSnoring@mastodon.ie @adafruit@fosstodon.org they own EyeMed, one of the largest providers. Their strategy is vertical integration, or owning every part of their business. They own brands like Ray-Ban, Oakley, Persol, Oliver Peoples, and licenses for Channel, Prada, Armani, Versace, Burberry, Coach, Michael Kors, Dolce and Gabanna, Tony Burch, and Miu Miu. Which they sell in the retailers they own like Lens Crafters, Sunglass Hut, Pearle Vision, Target Optical, Glasses.com, and more.
