MODESTO, Calif.—Jim’s Optical Service, a full-service optical wholesale laboratory located here, has been acquired by Ken Martin and Tom Olson, former owners of the Modesto-based lab Martin Optical Service. The purchase price was not disclosed.

The new owners renamed the lab Mar-Lite Optical Suppliers, effective Jan. 1. Martin and Olson will share management responsibilities. Martin will be in charge of operations and marketing; Olson will handle sales.

“It is our hope to provide the ECP with the service and quality that they were receiving from Martin Optical Service when we owned the company,” said Martin. The lab has joined Optical Services International, an association of independent, family-owned ophthalmic labs based in Norcross, Ga. ■
