The rest of the store is quite impressive, too, year-round, with home goods, electronics, houseware, toys, and tires. We&#8217;ve always found the help &#8220;old-fashioned&#8221; helpful, knowledgeable and courteous. Men employees are still required to wear shirt and tie! The store bridges nicely between the mom and pop stores and big box superstore concepts. We find that this type of hybrid store makes for a nice shopping experience!<\/p>\n<p>Benny&#8217;s has been around since 1924 with several stores primarily located in Rhode Island, but we&#8217;ve also found them in the Massachusetts towns of North Attleboro, Mansfield, Fairhaven, Plymouth and Raynham. You&#8217;ll also find several in Connecticut.
