Raise a glass to Benny's, the Providence-born discount chain that served southern New England from 1924 through 2017. This 16oz pint glass brings a familiar hometown name to bar shelves, kitchen cabinets, and game-day gatherings. It is a fitting keepsake for shoppers who remember browsing Benny's stores across Rhode Island, Massachusetts, and Connecticut, from the early Auto Store days to the final Greenville closing.
Benny's was a New England discount retail chain founded in Providence, Rhode Island, in 1924. Benjamin Bromberg, who had worked as a manager for American Auto Supply Company, opened Benny's Auto Store on November 9, 1924. The business added a second Rhode Island store in East Providence in 1929, followed by its first Massachusetts location in Taunton in 1931. The Esmond Mill became the company headquarters in 1965. After Benjamin Bromberg died in 1966, his son Malcolm became president. Benny's expanded through Massachusetts and Connecticut during the 1960s and 1970s, reaching as far as Cape Cod; its final new store opened in Killingly, Connecticut, in 2005. Following Malcolm Bromberg's death in 2014, ownership passed to Arnold and Howard Bromberg and Judy Rosenstein. On September 8, 2017, Benny's announced the closure of all 31 stores. Its last location, in Greenville, Smithfield, Rhode Island, closed on December 11, 2017. Twenty-nine former locations were purchased by Johnston-based Carpionato Group, and some were later sold to other retailers.

A 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.
