This Benny's men's sport polo shirt brings a familiar southern New England name into everyday rotation. Founded in Providence in 1924, Benny's grew from an auto store into a beloved regional discount chain with locations across Rhode Island, Massachusetts, and Connecticut. It is an easy choice for former shoppers, employees, local-history fans, and collectors remembering the final stores that closed in 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.
