Let’s see how things have shaped up prior to this announcement.
Factors at Play
National Vision is expected to report better third-quarter results ongradual reopening of stores and return toward more normal operations. The company’s effective implementation of the safety-first approach in store operations should have encouraged customer visit in this period.

Further, the company in the previously-reported quarter transitioned its five additional Walmart Vision Centers to NVI management. This was the first time that Walmart added stores to National Vision’s contract. We expect the performance of these stores to reflect in the third-quarter results.
