STORY:

Fair play. Good Value. Service. Affordability. Quality. You will find all of this and more at Renys!. They are a chain of small discount stores throughout Maine that have been a part of the state's culture since 1949. It was at this time Robert H. Reny opened the first store in Damariscotta, ME. His philosophy was simple - offer great value, make great buys of better merchandise and sell at the lowest possible price to his customers! This philosophy continues today as "RH" is still involved in the business, buying goods for the stores.

The stores are all small to medium sized, each with its own unique character. You'll find everything including, Carhartt jeans, Woolrich sweaters, Chippewa boots, all kinds of clothing, outerwear by famous makers, electronics, housewares, lawn and garden supplies, sheets and towels, and an awesome .99 department. If you need it, you can probably find it at Renys. As a matter of fact, it has been said, "If Renys doesn't have it, I don't need it!" It's always fun to shop for summer items outside the storefront in a hot summer day like the pictures shown below.
