If you're looking to save money on eyewear, here's the good news: you don't have to go far to get affordable glasses. Le Bonhomme à lunettes has more than 75 points of service in southern Quebec and a single mission: to make the purchase of glasses accessible to all.
Even though everything is getting more expensive, we’ve been working hard to keep our base prices as low as possible ever since we were founded in 2007. This means, for example, that our frames are all the same price, which is $79. It’s no coincidence that we find ourselves in the issue of La Semaine titled 325 trucs pour faire des économies. Mais ce n’est pas tout de proposer des lunettes pas chères, il faut aussi aller à la rencontre des clients. Pour ce faire, le Bonhomme propose un quartier général situé dans le Mile-End ainsi que des points de service dans huit régions administratives du Québec.
Voici un petit guide géographique résumant les 75 façons vous permettant d’obtenir des lunettes à bas prix. Suffit d’apporter votre prescription !
Montréal
With more than 25 service points, we are present all over the island of Montreal. Whether you drive, take public transit or ride a bike, there is probably a service point near you. Not to mention our headquarters, les Portes Orange, which welcomes clients in Mile End from Monday to Friday with evening hours.
South Shore & Montéregie
With more than 15 service points at the time of writing, our second largest presence is on the South Shore and in the Montérégie. There are several in Longueuil, including l’ACEF Rive-Sud which offers evening hours on Thursday, but also in Chambly, Boucherville, Brossard and Châteauguay. To the north, just at the limits of the Montérégie, there is our service point in Sorel-Tracy. We also have a stop in Saint-Hyacinthe on Wednesdays. Finally, there are our three southernmost service points in the region: Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, Valleyfield and Vaudreuil-Dorion.
Laval
Located in Chomedey, Saint-François, Fabreville, Saint-Vincent-de-Paul and Pont-Viau, our five Laval service locations are spread out to cover almost the entire island from east to west. They are also located near major arteries such as Boulevard de la Concorde and Boulevard Dagenais, allowing Laval residents to come and meet us without having to make life too complicated.
Laurentians
With more than 10 service points in the region, there are not only the people of Saint-Eustache, Saint-Jérôme and Mont-Tremblant who can take advantage of our low prices. We also stop at Lachute, Mirabel, Pointe-Calumet et Sainte-Agathe
Lanaudière
We are proud to have reached the milestone of 10 service points in the region. Don't worry, we don't just go along the river. Of course, we have service points in Repentigny, Lavaltrie and Berthierville, but we also go much further north, from Joliette via Saint Côme
Outaouais
With a business model like ours, the more we travel, the harder it is for us to offer low-cost eyewear. However, that doesn’t stop us from serving areas a bit further away from our headquarters. In fact, we’ve been serving the Outaouais region since 2023, and thanks to ever-growing demand, we now have six service locations in the area. Of course, the city of Gatineau is well represented, with a service point in Aylmer, two in Hull (Centre communautaire Dupuis and Centre d’action bénévole located on Brodeur street) and a fourth one at Centre d’action familiale on Saint-Lous close to Gilbert Garneau Park.
A little further east, we stop at La Plume, an organization based in Saint-André-Avellin, as well as at la COOP santé de la Petite Nation à Chénéville
Eastern Townships
There is only one service location in the region, but this partnership is known for its remarkable longevity and stability. We stop at Centre d’action bénévole de Granby since 2015. Over the past decade in the region, our schedule has hardly changed at all: we’re there every Tuesday from 9:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
Centre-du-Québec
Residents of Drummondville and nearby towns have long been able to come and visit us at Centre d’action bénévole Drummond located on Saint-Pierre Street, just off Saint-Joseph Boulevard. More recently, we opened a health center in Odanak. We would like to thank the Abenaki Nation for welcoming us to their territory. Although this service location is on First Nations territory, it is open to all eyeglass wearers, without exception.
Mauricie
Our latest addition! After years of requests, we’ve finally opened a service location in Mauricie. Thanks to a partnership with CIBES, we’re now a stone's throw from downtown Trois-Rivières.
