JAM Optical
680 Truman Pkwy, Hyde Park, Boston, MA 02136
JAM Optical is a neighborhood optical shop on Truman Parkway in Hyde Park. The promise on the door is short: see clearly, look good, same day.
Common prescriptions and reading glasses are kept in stock, so many customers walk out with new single vision glasses the same day. The shop also fits prescription sunglasses, supplies contact lenses, carries Transitions lenses, gives eye exams and handles frame repairs in house. MassHealth, Davis Vision and Superior Vision are accepted, and benefits can be used for glasses alone.

How we sourced this
Built from the shop's own website, which is where the services, the brands carried, the accepted insurance, the address, the phone number and the opening hours all come from. The certifications, the prescription safety glasses and the year the business was established come from the City of Boston's Certified Business Directory, published as open data on Analyze Boston, and the Black-owned listing comes from Black Owned Bos., a Greater Boston directory of Black-owned businesses.
- Minority-owned — Certification body · source
The City of Boston certifies this business as a Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) in its Certified Business Directory, published as open data on Analyze Boston. Certification is granted on documented ownership, not self-description. The certified record carries the same street address and the same phone number as the shop's own website.
- Certified MBE — Certification body · source
Held in the City of Boston's Certified Business Directory, published as open data on Analyze Boston. The same record also carries a Small and Local Business Enterprise certification, which reflects the size and locality of the business rather than its ownership.
- Black-owned — Directory listing · source
Black Owned Bos., a Greater Boston directory of Black-owned businesses that businesses submit themselves, lists this shop. That is a publicly listed source rather than a statement from the business itself: the shop's own website describes it as locally owned and goes no further.
Identity and ownership tags are never inferred. Certifications and recognitions belong to their respective organizations.
