The Financial Times reports that "in spite of tough economic conditions, the world’s biggest privately owned optical retailer [Specsavers] has continued its trend for aggressive expansion." The 26-year-old optical retailer has expanded into Australia. "In the process it has driven up turnover from about £1bn {$1.6 billion] in 2008 to an expected £1.6bn [$2.56 billion] this year and it now has 1,600 stores in 10 countries."
