Dr. Tony Jacob’s Texas Eye Care Revolution & Multi-Million Dollar Exit
The Lone Star State has always held a close place in Tony’s heart, having laid the stage for his greatest business feat.
His journey from humble beginnings to industry leadership showcases the power of vision, determination, and strategic business acumen in building a multi-location optometry enterprise across Texas.
It all started in 2010 with a single location in Lockhart, Texas, where the practice quickly set itself apart through exceptional patient care and operational excellence. Within just 18 months, the small-town clinic reached an extraordinary milestone—generating $1 million in revenue, a feat rarely seen in the industry.
Expansion soon followed. In 2013, a second location opened in Kyle, one of Texas' fastest-growing communities. Careful management and an unwavering commitment to quality care allowed this new practice to quickly establish itself as the leading optometry provider in the area. Growth continued at an impressive pace, eventually reaching 11 locations across Central Texas.
The success of this venture culminated in what industry insiders have called the largest private optometry business acquisition in Texas history.
