How Many Pairs Should Marinas and Boating Retailers Carry at Opening?

Marinas should open with a sunglass-led eyewear mix, a focused reader range, and enough refill stock to bridge peak boating demand and supplier lead time.

If using a Major Frames 132-pair floor display, 160 pairs is a common Major Frames opening model. Smaller marina stores can use lower-capacity counter formats.

Opening mix

  • strong sunglass variety for outdoor and driving use
  • verified lens features where applicable
  • a useful reader-power range
  • selective backstock behind likely fast styles

Plan for the season

Open deeper before a proven boating peak, but avoid making peak inventory the permanent baseline.
