EbLens was founded by Ebner "Eb" Glooskin and Leonard "Len" Seaman in 1949 after operating an army surplus store in New Britain, Connecticut.
Instead of selling military goods, the business shifted to clothing, work boots, sneakers, and casual fashion. The company quickly expanded throughout the Northeast and became one of the most recognizable streetwear retailers in malls and shopping centers.
By the 1990s and early 2000s, EbLens became known for urban fashion, opening stores in communities across Massachusetts, including the Boston area. Although the company closed in 2023, its legacy remains an important part of Northeast streetwear history.
