Franchise With Us

From our beginnings at the corner of Mott and Bayard streets in Lower Manhattan, MK Vision Center emerged from the Mott Optical Group – one of the most patient-centric, family-owned and -operated optical groups in the New York City area who are obsessed with finding the best-fitting eyewear for our clientele.

This passion for fitting eyewear came from the founder of the Mott Optical Group, Siki Ma, a Chinese immigrant who believed in the American Dream that anyone can succeed by providing excellent service, forging strong and genuine relationships, and satisfying clients’ needs. Specifically, Siki saw that there was an underserved group of eyeglass wearers who were having trouble finding glasses that supported their nose bridges, fit correctly, and were comfortable to wear all day.

In four decades, the Mott Optical Group grew from one store to nine, spanning four out of the five boroughs of New York City. Each store served its community by carrying out our founder’s ethos.

The Mott Optical Group created the MK Vision Center brand in 2010 when we felt our optical stores could serve a broader mission. We now not only provide clear sight through eyewear and vision care services, but also aim to inspire your vision.

We offer the best vision care services which includes frames, contact lenses, eye exams, and eyeglass repairs. Our franchisees will be trained to be eyewear fit specialist and carry styles from our proprietary brands that are equipped with our TRUFIT design: Suki,Siki, Mott and Bayard, Ma-ji, and T-Generation brands that cater to clients with low nose bridges, an underserved market that makes up more than 15% of the US population, 20 million people. We are able to source and curate a collection of award-winning and worldrenowned designer brands, and independent eyewear lines.

Franchisees will also carry lenses that come from the most technologically advanced lens manufacturers from around the world. They will also be able to utilize our industry-leading automated point of sales, inventory management, electronic health record technology, and tele-optometry technology to grow their businesses.

Revenue in the eyewear market amounts to 38.8 billion dollars and is expected to grow at 2.11% pre year. The growth in the market is driven by the increasing use of digital devices and an aging population. It is generally considered a stable and recession-proof industry due to the fact that it is a medical necessity and demand is driven by vision insurance.
