Fritz & Hawley Guild Opticians stands as a beacon of quality and personalized service in an increasingly impersonal industry. There approach is rooted in a blend of tradition and innovation. They are not just providing eye care; but are preserving a legacy of trusted vision.
Fritz & Hawley has proudly served the New Haven County community for over 100 years. Established in 1900, Gustave Fritz and George Hawley created The Fritz & Hawley Company. After a 1920s fire, a major remodel made it the first air-conditioned retail store in the state by 1934. Following Gustave’s passing in 1935, George continued the legacy until Russell B. Fritz Sr. rejoined the business—paving the way for decades of growth.
