Located in the heart of downtown Lee, near shops, restaurants, cultural attractions, and the Massachusetts Turnpike, this is a unique opportunity to continue the legacy of a beloved local business while benefiting from multiple income streams. Buyer to verify financial information, measurements, permitted uses, and all items included in the sale. Established in 1932 as an Army/Navy store, Ben's has been a fixture of downtown Lee for more than nine decades. Founded by brothers George and Ben Slaminsky, the business was later expanded by Ben and his wife, Ruth, into the clothing, footwear, and workwear destination generations of Berkshire residents remember today. In 1970, the store doubled in size and officially became Ben's. Its tradition of personal service, honest value, and adaptability allowed the business to thrive through changing retail eras and become one of the country's notable independent Carhartt dealers. Sold to Sean and Tracy Stephen in 2016, Ben's retained the small-town character and community connection that made it an iconic Main Street business.
