From bold, funky frames to work-ready safety eyewear, we offer a one-of-a-kind experience where every face is familiar and every patient is treated like family.

Rooted in Duluth’s Labor Temple


Located inside Duluth’s historic Labor Temple building, Union Optical has always been closely connected to the working community. We work closely with building trades professionals, offering custom safety frames and eyewear that match both jobsite needs and off-the-clock style.

We understand what hard work looks like, and we’ve built our business around supporting it.

We’re also committed to community care. That’s why we collect used glasses for the Duluth Lions Club’s Recycle for Sight program, helping provide glasses to people in need around the world.
