Reny’s Deparment Store

Don’t judge a book by its cover – I thought this was a sporting goods store, but it has so much more than that! Great bathing suit prices. Excellent selection of toys & games including eco-​friendly options. My only criticism is the large number of toy guns & knives – some of them look pretty scary. Good thing this store isn’t in Mass. or I’d be shopping all the time!

Awesome store. great customer service ! This place has everything you need from all summer needs to winter needs to everything in between. Workers are always helpful and considerate They are always busy working !!!

A maine adventure. It gets very busy in the summer and they close early. They have great deals on random things with tons of clothing, some from great brands. They have toys and nonperishable foods as wells as everything else you can think of… beach items, camping goods, toiletries, linens, and everything else. Some of the brands may be knock off but you will not be paying full price.

For what it is, it’s as good as it gets. Excellent brands at amazing prices. Stocked up today on cold weather gear.

Reny’s is Maine’s discount and closeout store. They sell a little bit of everything, all at decent prices. They also have a lot of Columbia, woolrich and Carhatt clothing. When in Maine I love to stop in and poke around and usually walk out with some good deals. If you are a bargain shopper, it’s worth a stop.

This is the Wells location of this famed Maine department store.
The selection here is okay. I have yet to explore many of the Reny’s stores, so my experience is limited. Reny’s seems to be good for random items that you are willing to take seconds or discontinued versions of. I’m not sure you can really come here with a list per se. You just kind of come here and see what strikes your fancy in some category of item you’re looking for.
Reny’s also seems to be very good for particular «Maine» lifestyle items… i.e. things to help you deal with the elements/​cold. Slightly lower prices on things like rubber boots, fleece jackets and winter hats.
Pros: Low prices, variety of items (clothes to candy bars), winter clothes, convenient location right off Route 1 and next to a Hannaford (you can get other shopping done!)
Cons: Some of the goods are seconds or may be weird sizes/​colors.

Having been talked up so much by a few other people over the past couple of months, I found Renys a colossal disappointment. One star is for the 75% off Xmas decorations and the interesting (- though not very low priced-​) dinnerware. The other star is for the sweet kid who told us clean, silly jokes at checkout. Other than that, this place is not special, nor does it offer unusually low prices. I found good wool slippers –at an average retail price, and almost bought a carhartt coat that was only a few bucks cheaper than other places. This store is filled with seconds and slightly imperfect items and clothing that is priced as if it were regular quality. There were some nice woolrich sweaters there, but again, priced comparably to any other retailer. It was a nice drive though, and it was a good chance to see empty, beautiful Ogunquit on the way back.
