5 GENERATIONS & 109 YEARS OF EYEWEAR EXCELLENCE

5 Generations & 109 Years of Eyewear Excellence


WHERE IT ALL BEGAN

The MOSCOT optical roots were first planted in America by Great Great
Grandfather and family patriarch, Hyman Moscot, who arrived from Eastern Europe
via Ellis Island in 1899. Hyman began selling ready-made eyeglasses from a
pushcart on Orchard Street on Manhattan's famed Lower East Side.



The MOSCOT optical roots were first planted in America by Great Great
Grandfather, Hyman Moscot, who arrived from Eastern Europe via Ellis Island in
1899. Hyman began selling ready-made eyeglasses from a pushcart on Orchard
Street.

By 1915 having amassed a following of loyal customers, Hyman opened the family’s
first retail shop, at 94 Rivington Street.

In 1925 Hyman’s son Sol, at the tender age of only 15, joined the family
business and helped take over the reins.

By 1936, MOSCOT was settled at 118 Orchard Street, on the corner of Delancey
Street, which would be its home for the next eight decades.

The original peg and groove chairs, purchased by Sol in 1938, were used by fans
and customers to pop a squat…let’s just say, these chairs are just as
comfortable now, as they were back in the day.

The MOSCOT Finishing Lab, 1938. The company’s 100-year (and counting!) expertise
in eyewear began right in our very own shops, with the latest equipment of the
time.

Sol and Grandma Sylvia with their three children, Danny, Beverly, and Joel,
dressed in their finest to celebrate Joel’s thirteenth birthday in 1948.

In 1951, Sol’s son, Joel, began presiding over the House of MOSCOT. Charming,
educated and devoted to his customers, Joel quickly made his mark – overseeing
the shop and conveying the family’s values to his sons.

By the 1970s, MOSCOT expanded their 118 Orchard Shop to include the ground-level
space below the retail shop. MOSCOT would continue to occupy the corner space,
later hosting MOSCOT Music events, until their next big move in 2012.

In 1986 Joel’s son, Dr. Harvey Moscot, entered the family business as the head
of eyecare, where he was a practicing Doctor of Optometry for over thirty years.
He is the current CEO, leading MOSCOT into a global future.

Joel’s youngest son, Kenny Moscot, followed suit, joining the business in 1992.

In 2013 Harvey’s son, Zack Moscot, a formally trained industrial designer, came
on board, making him the fifth generation Moscot to join the family business. He
is the current Chief Design Officer for the brand and heads all creative and
design for the company.

From 94 Rivington to 94 Orchard, after over a century in business, the Moscot
Family secures it’s fate in the Lower East Side. To this day, MOSCOT remains a
five generation, family business. Hyman would be proud.

Guests lined up, staff members and 5th Generation Zack Moscot joined and since
then, MOSCOT has added a music element to its repertoire, by connecting fans
worldwide with emerging and established musical artists.
