Online eyewear retailer Warby Parker (New York) revealed plans to open seven new brick-and-mortar stores by the end of 2015. New destinations will include Kansas City, Mo., Scottsdale, Ariz. and San Diego.

Warby Parker opened its first physical store in 2013 and now operates 12 locations across the country. Co-founder Dave Gilboa said the company does not plan to slow retail expansions in coming years.

Fashionista reports the opening of brick-and-mortar stores have bolstered the company’s immense growth, rather than detracting from online sales.
