The company began selling ribbon at its Cumberland mill in 1953, then grew into a regional retailer known for a self-service approach that helped shape the familiar big-store shopping experience. Its name recalls generations of shoppers, from the original mill store to later outlet years. A thoughtful choice for collectors, local history fans, and anyone who enjoys a drink alongside a story rooted in Rhode Island.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnn \u0026amp; Hope was a Rhode Island retailer founded by Martin Chase, whose family had moved to Providence from Kiev when he was six. After working in clothing stores and operating Chase Clothing, Chase bought the Ann \u0026amp; Hope Mill complex in Lonsdale, Cumberland, in 1946 and rented its spaces to tenants. In 1953, after a tenant left ribbon behind, the Chase family began selling it at the mill; Chase then opened a clothing store there, first on the third floor and, by the following spring, on the ground floor. The business broadened its merchandise and reached $40 million in annual sales by 1969. Its self-service format, large shopping carts, central checkout, return policy, generous parking, and multilevel merchandise helped make it an early model for big-box retail. The company operated across the Northeast from 1953 to 2001. Most department stores closed in spring 2001, while Cumberland and Warwick remained as smaller outlet stores. The business later focused on Curtain \u0026amp; Bath and garden outlets in Rhode Island, Massachusetts, and Connecticut. In 2020 it announced closure of its remaining outlet stores, with some garden centers possibly continuing. In 2022, the Warwick property was sold to Crossroads Capital Fund VI LLC and the Cumberland mill complex to Providence-based Hartford Holdings LLC.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eA sturdy 16oz pint glass that brings a little roadhouse spirit to everyday pours. The clear tempered glass showcases whatever you fill it with — amber beer, cold brew, or fresh juice — while a bold vintage-inspired script wraps the side for a subtle, nostalgic touch. It feels solid in the hand, resists everyday wear, and pairs easily with bar carts, kitchen counters, or a laid-back backyard table. Wash gently by hand to keep the lettering sharp and the glass crystal-clear. Built from tempered materials and assembled in the USA, this glass fits into evenings spent swapping stories, weekend morning routines, or those slow, quiet moments when a simple drink matters.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eProduct features\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- 16 oz (0.473 L) capacity\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Tempered, durable glass construction\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- BPA-free material\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Hand wash only to preserve finish\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Assembled in the USA from globally sourced parts\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCare instructions\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Hand wash only\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEU representative\u003c\/strong\u003e: HONSON VENTURES LIMITED, gpsr@honsonventures.com, 3, Gnaftis House flat 102, Limassol, Mesa Geitonia, 4003, CY\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct information\u003c\/strong\u003e: Generic brand, two year warranty in the EU and Northern Ireland\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCare instructions\u003c\/strong\u003e: Hand wash only\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Printify","offers":[{"title":"16oz","offer_id":54767617212700,"sku":"31967041480837883092","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0955\/2517\/5580\/files\/4613320339097768976_2048.jpg?v=1792931114","url":"https:\/\/ghostcorpapparel.com\/products\/ann-hope-16oz-pint-glass","provider":"Ghost Corp Apparel","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
