Today, New Haven came out to celebrate a small business that has been part of this city since 1946.

What started out as one store on Whitney Avenue has become a family business with six locations. Familiar faces, kind words from people whose families have trusted Kennedy & Perkins for decades, and a quiet sense of pride that only eighty years can earn.

Here's to Kennedy & Perkins, and to the next eighty years.

📍 Kennedy & Perkins | 80 Whitney Ave, New Haven
