Armstrong-Root Opticians opened in 1993 in Brentwood, California. Located in the center of the entertainment industry, the concept was to bring quality and fashion together at the highest level - creating an environment that focused on personal style and customer service. With this concept, Armstrong-Root quickly became the go to place for eyewear aficionados in West Los Angeles. Over the next five years Armstrong-Root developed it's own brand of product and opened stores in Malibu, Salt Lake City and Sun Valley. In 2001, Armstrong-Root sold it's California and Utah operations to Oliver Peoples (now a division of Luxottica). Armstrong-Root Opticians in Ketchum continues to operate under the leadership of Laurrine McGowan, providing customers from around the world the same high quality service and products that have made Armstrong-Root the best source for the latest in eyewear fashions and quality eye care treatment. Armstrong-Root is proud to offer the expertise of our optometrist Dr. Matthew E. Kent, OD, PA, licensed opticians, and style consultants.
