ABC7 News: Santa Monica couple sees dreams shattered after optometry business ransacked by looters. The owners of a Santa Monica optometry business have been hit hard with back-to-back devastation; first the COVID-19 shutdown, then they were wiped out by looting. https://abc7.com/looting-riot-sunny-optometry-coronavirus//

Due to the risk of civil unrest from the nearby protest, the city of Santa Clarita has recommended all businesses take precautions. Therefore our store has temporarily closed and boarded up for Thursday June 4th. We hope to reopen on Friday June 5th if conditions allow. We greatly appreciate your understanding and please leave us a voicemail or email and we will return your message as soon as possible. Thank you!

Rebuild Sunny Optometry Santa Monica Destroyed by Riots - Dr. Sun & Dr. Sjolund The team at Sunny Optometry was overwhelmingly excited to welcome back patients after a two month closure from the COVID-19 pandemic. After months of grueling planning, we managed to safely reopen our doors to serve our community and restore our teams’ lost jobs. On Sunday May 31st, only two weeks after reopening, waves of brazen rioters and looters destroyed all that our team has built since 1985.... Previously the office of Dr. Weintraub, we have always endeavored to provide superior eye care and deliver a bespoke experience. Dr. Sun, Dr. Sjolund, and the team have invested countless hours to nurture a unique patient experience, and regretfully must inform all patients that Sunny Optometry must again close until further notice to repair the extensive vandalism. We want the community to know that every member of the Sunny Optometry team is from a minority group. We are Asian, Black, Hispanic, and 90% women operated. We are your neighbors, friends, and family. On the eve of our 1 year anniversary from transitioning from Dr. Weintraub to Sunny Optometry, our hopes and dreams were crushed by having to close our doors for the second time in 2020. Dr. Sun is a first generation immigrant who spent every single summer, winter, and spring break working to help financially support her family. She grew up with the impression that American dream could be achieved through diligence and education, and became an optometrist. She met her husband Dr. Sjolund in optometry school, and together they poured their heart, soul, and life savings into their practice. Amid the start of a protest in downtown Santa Monica, all day we helplessly witnessed our life’s work vandalized, stolen, and burned. The looters were so thorough they stole everything including receipt paper, pennies, and lint in our drawers before setting it all ablaze. We are eternally grateful for the brave police and firefighters who managed to mitigate the damage and prevent the office from becoming a pile of ash. Sunny Optometry is independently owned, and our team greatly appreciates any assistance as we try to rebuild during these unprecedented times.
