An eyewear display including a plurality of pods. Each pod includes a pair of opposing sidewalls, a back wall, and a front wall to form a proximal opening. The front wall defines a plurality of apertures for receiving eyewear support fixtures. A base wall encloses a distal end of the pod to form a storage space for holding eyewear stock accessible by the proximal opening. A mounting mechanism attaches to the back wall by a hinge and has at least one mounting clip for coupling the pod to the display mounting fixture. Each pod is selectively pivotable away from the display mounting fixture to provide access to the storage space for restocking the eyewear display. Preferably, in a display position, the plurality of pods are arranged so that at least one of the proximal openings is at least partially blocked by an adjacent.
