Pop Specs Brings Fast, Funky & Affordable Eyewear to Solihull

Pop Specs is thrilled to announce the opening of its brand new Solihull store located on Crescent Arcade.

Known for its bold frames, lightning fast service, and unbeatable value, Pop Specs is set to bring a fresh burst of colour, energy, and accessibility to the West Midlands eyewear scene. With a simple mantra—fast, funky and affordable eyewear for everyone—the brand has quickly become a favourite for people who want great glasses without the wait or the eyewatering price tag. Single vision glasses are ready in just 20 minutes, with one all inclusive price starting at £75 (frames, lenses and coatings included).

Leading the Solihull store is Co Director, Stylist & Dispensing Optician Asher, a local expert with deep roots in the community. Born and raised in Solihull, Asher brings over a decade of clinical experience, a calm and reassuring approach, and a sharp eye for style.

“As someone who grew up here, Solihull is home,” Asher said. “Partnering with Pop Specs has allowed me to bring something genuinely different to the area—fun, modern eyewear, expert care, and a personal touch that Solihull has always embraced. We’re here to make glasses exciting, accessible, and enjoyable for everyone.”

Asher began his optics career in 2015 and qualified as a Dispensing Optician from Anglia Ruskin University, Cambridge. Registered with ABDO, he has worked across both high street and independent practices, specialising in optical dispensing, bespoke fittings, and eyewear styling. His mission with Pop Specs Solihull is to blend clinical expertise with a boutique, fashion forward experience.

Pop Specs founders and Managing Directors Dan and Ina shared their excitement for the new opening:

“We’re excited to be bringing the Pop Specs brand to Solihull and Touchwood! We look forward to meeting and greeting our new customers—and soon to be friends—as they discover the Pop Specs experience.”
