Benson Hyde and Bruce McAmis Make Provisions a Regional Success Story
Benson Hyde was a financial advisor who wasn’t enthralled with the firm he was working for or the direction his career was headed in. Bruce McAmis was a lawyer who would have preferred to be doing … well, just about anything else. That was years ago. In the intervening time, let’s just say their paths crossed (we’ll fill in the details later), and they are now co-authoring one of the more intriguing entrepreneurship stories unfolding in the region. It’s called Provisions, a wine, cheese, and much-more store that now has three locations: in Northampton, where it all started, in Amherst, where the plot thickened, and, most recently, Longmeadow, where it thickened even more, with the opening of a location in the Longmeadow Shops just before the holidays. They would have preferred to open sooner, but … well, that’s part of the story.
