Hy-Vee Inc. is teaming with online retailer Pair Eyewear to bring in-store Pair Eyewear kiosks to select Hy-Vee locations across the company's eight-state region, according to a press release. The first kiosk will be located inside the new Grimes Hy-Vee in Grimes, Iowa.

The Pair Eyewear kiosks will offer a hybrid shopping experience for Hy-Vee customers, allowing them to try eyewear frames on in stores and place prescription and non-prescription orders online through the in-store kiosk. Products will be shipped directly to the customer's home within five to seven business days through standard free shipping.

Hy-Vee is the first U.S. retailer to offer customers the ability to try on and shop Pair Eyewear products in stores.

The brand offers a selection of more than 1,000 customizable frame designs including collaborations with Harry Potter, Marvel, The NHL, MLB and more. Base frames are available starting at $60 including prescription lenses, and top frames start at $25 each.
