Benny's To Close All Stores, Including Mansfield Location

MANSFIELD, MA — After over nine decades of business, the end is here for Benny's.

Citing a change in the retail landscape for brick and mortar stores, the discount store recently announced that the ownership family has decided to retire and they will close all their locations by the end of the year. Mansfield has a Benny's located on Copeland Drive.

"The decision to retire was strongly influenced by this changing face of retailing. We will miss our employees who have been such a big part of what has made Benny’s successful for so many decades. And of course, we’ll miss our many loyal customers who have supported us over the years. We have never tired, in all of those 93 years, of hearing the stories of a child’s first bike bought at Benny’s or 'if Benny’s doesn't have it, you don’t need it,'" a statement from the family read.

The Mansfield store was featured in the 2013 movie "Labor Day" in 2012. The film, starring Kate Winslet and Josh Brolin, is based on the 2009 book of the same name.
