New location brings fashion-forward eyewear design paired with a commitment to giving back
PALM DESERT, CA – March, 2026 – Warby Parker, the modern eyewear brand known for its commitment to style, affordability, and social impact, is preparing to open a new retail location at The Shops on El Paseo. The new store marks another milestone in Warby Parker’s continued growth across North America, with The Shops on El Paseo location being the first in the Coachella Valley.
Designed to reflect the brand’s clean, inviting aesthetic, the El Paseo store will offer an assortment of eyewear and accessories, and eye exams in the near future. The El Paseo location will also feature custom artwork created in collaboration with California-based artist Wyatt Hersey, adding a distinctive local touch to the store’s design.
Warby Parker prides itself for offering a seamless and flexible shopping experience. Prescription eyewear is typically fulfilled within 7–10 days, with options for both in-store pickup and home delivery.
In keeping with Warby Parker’s mission-driven philosophy, the store will participate in the company’s longstanding Buy a Pair, Give a Pair program, through which a pair of glasses is distributed to someone in need for every pair sold. Additionally, customers who purchase two pairs of Warby Parker prescription eyeglasses will receive 15% off all future prescription eyeglass purchases.
“We are excited to join The Shops on El Paseo and the prestigious El Paseo Shopping District to bring residents and visitors to the desert an elevated eyewear shopping experience,” said WARBY PARKER spokesperson. “With the community’s strong commitment to charities and nonprofit organizations, those purchasing eyewear with Warby Parker will be able to further give back to those in need.”
Warby Parker’s arrival further strengthens The Shops on El Paseo’s dynamic retail mix. The luxury retail and restaurant collection will also soon welcome RH, a leader of upscale home furnishings.
