Foster Grant Sunglasses Have Been Around For Years

When I was a child, we lived in a resort town near a lake. Believe me, you had to have sunglasses. That way the tourists didn't know you were a native of the town. We either went to the lake to sunbathe or just walked around town just looking cool. When I think back to the sunglasses I used to wear, I see my Foster Grant sunglasses in my mind as clear as day with the Mickey Mouse frames!

Foster Grant actually made hair accessories when they were first founded back in 1919. Then in 1929, they sold their first pair of Foster Grant sunglasses. See, I told you they were around when I was a kid! Just kidding! In 1960, numerous celebrities such as Robert Goulet and Peter Sellers helped launch the famous "Whose behind those Foster Grant's?" campaign.

In 1974, the King, Elvis Presley, started wearing over-sized Foster Grant sunglasses. I remember every guy needed to have a pair just like those that Elvis wore! Of course, they weren't just worn on the beach. The guys tried wearing them to school, but that didn't go over very well.

Foster Grant even came out with a pair of Foster Grant sunglasses just like Elvis's to commemorate his death. They had a national sweepstakes to give away his own personal pair of Foster Grant sunglasses.

And then there came Jeff Gordon in Foster Grant sunglasses. The year was 2001, and two lines of Jeff Gordon sunglasses were developed, the Drivers and the Pro Series. Foster Grant also had two lines of Daytona sunglasses. One was called the Daytona International Speedway Sunglasses, and the other one was called Daytona Beach Sunglasses.

Not only that but they are marketed in the United States at Wal*Mart, Walgreens, Rite Aid, Target, Meijer, Albertson's, Publix Super Markets, Kroger Lawton's, Fred Meyer, Barnes and Noble, Shopko, Pamida, Bi-Mart, United States Army and Air Forces Exchanges, AutoZone, Giant Food Stores, Alco, Duckwall, Academy Sports, Snyder Drug, Bartell Drug Company, Smith's and Ralph's.
