How Bootstrapped Pott Glasses Built an 8-Figure Retail Biz

Founded in 2015, Pott Glasses has grown from bazaars to 8 retail outlets, all without external funding. The company broke past 8-figures in revenue 2-3 years back, and is now eyeing RM100 million as its next major target in the next few years.

Pott Glasses is a homegrown boutique eyewear brand attempting to redefine the consumer experience through its signature 4D Optical Styling, which considers eye power, occupation, face shape, and usage to deliver personalised recommendations.

In this episode of Open For Business, we explore why and how the founders built their brand in a market dominated by local chains and international names. We also dive into their growth strategy, which includes opening 8 more outlets in the next 2 years, expanding their sunglasses line, rolling out ESG initiatives, and launching a new niche brand, all while exploring strategic partnerships to expand brand awareness and distribution.

Tune in to find out how Pott Glasses is reshaping Malaysia’s eyewear landscape, one face at a time.
