GhostCorp Apparel - resurrecting iconic corporate ghosts.
Start the morning with a reminder of Benny's, the Providence discount retailer that became a familiar part of life across southern New England. Founded by Benjamin Bromberg in 1924, the company grew from Benny's Auto Store to 31 locations before its 2017 closure. This ceramic coffee mug is made for former shoppers, employees, and hometown-history fans who remember the practical charm of a stop at Benny's and want to keep that local legacy in the daily routine.
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.
