Show your Benny's pride on the road with a car magnet celebrating a retail name that belonged to southern New England. From its Providence founding in 1924 to stores across Rhode Island, Massachusetts, and Connecticut, Benny's was part of countless weekly routines. This car magnet is a simple tribute for former shoppers, employees, and local-history collectors who still remember the chain's familiar presence and the final Greenville closure in December 2017.
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.
