Eyeglass World opens at former mall site

With the opening of Eyeglass World in May, Main Street Oak Ridge has filled all its vacant property spaces, save three.

Main Street Oak Ridge is a shopping center that took over for the previous indoor Oak Ridge Mall, much of which had sat empty in its later years. The company RealtyLink manages the property.

The three spaces are between JC Penney and the American Museum of Science and Energy and are in a building that predates the Main Street Oak Ridge development and even the Mall. The city of Oak Ridge had been considering that space for a convention center. However, it’s now working on that project as a renovation to part of Oak Ridge Recreation Center.
