Housewares, pet and bird feeder supplies. Some good prices, some like everywhere else. It's hit or miss really, but they have some good finds. I went in looking for a sun visor. They didn't have any. Customer service is pretty good. Lots of parking. No AC in the building. That should be a priority to fix for the employees.

They also carry a wide assortment of Raye's Mustard (supposedly the only stone ground mill in America) and gonna try some double "burgermot" (how I like to jokingly pronounce it) tea. For a small place, they have a wide range of items too. Give them a look see.

We like our local store, so we thought it would be a fun winter project for us as we don't snowmobile or ski! We combined this stop at this Saco branch in the Portland area with a trip to Costco and, conveniently, the Portland Reny's as well. This Saco branch reflects the look and feel of the Reny's "brand" and parking was more convenient than the Portland store. We like how Reny's has a great variety of items without being quite as large and sprawling as, say, a Walmart super center. It also stresses having Maine mad or themed products where they can. I have noticed that, with admittedly flimsy evidence except at our local one, employees at Reny's seem to like working there and helping customers. The parking situation is good here, and it had the same comfortable feel and friendly employees as the other branches we have visited, so that is good. On to the next branch, passport in hand!

They have not only a wide variety of products (for example: clothing, transpirational items, hobbies, etc.), but for very cheap prices. I bought a t-shirt for $6.

And I'm certified to use knives and I own now for because I bought it the next day because I really wanted it in the other store didn't have it in my name, but he was really rude. When I went in the next day he was there yes but a different guy served me luckily who was really nice and let me exchange my squishy when the skin was peeling off. I recommend not going. I got a sweatshirt and a sweatshirt so if you would like to get something and the other store doesn't have the thing you want then go because the stuff is cute and everything the price was kind of good for the sweatshirt. The pocket knife wasn't too great kind of high. The screwdriver is kind of loose so it has to be very careful and then the squishy was about $10 and the skin was fill off of it so I got to exchange it and they have air bubbles now and a hole in the closet a little, but I can easily fix that but I still just don't recommend going because the owner is really rude

They had a great selection of shoes and a decent variety of men's and ladies clothes. Unfortunately, the men's and the ladies were lacking a variety of sizes throughout their lines. Their clothing prices seemed a bit high to me. The shoes were decently priced, if they had your size. There were a lot of miscellaneous home, office and holiday items, but I didn't find anything worth purchasing. They had a decent snack/food area, but the pricing was no deal and the things could be found in any grocery store. The store was a good place to waste time, not sure if it would be a destination that I would need to return to.

Marden's has been a Maine staple for such a long time. If you grew up in Maine or been here long…read moreenough you likely have heard or seen their famous jingle and/or could even remember the "Marden's Lady". Over the years I have visited quite a large portion of the Marden's stores. I will say I believe this is one of the better locations and one of the largest I think. For selection I would say this location has such a huge variety of everything you could imagine plus so many items you wouldn't expect! You will go in looking to buy say a pair of socks or a rug and wind up walking out with a hammer, garden hose, snacks, and who knows what else. Along with the variety you can definitely find deals that are cheaper than anywhere else. I've found you can find some of the best deals on clothing here. Some other items are just worth passing on though oppositely. Have had no major complaints service wise here at all. Friendly staff although checking out may be a bit slower at times. Despite this and the fact some items really aren't worth buying overall a great store to stop at and browse for some good deals!

The stock rotates constantly and there are always people there scouring for store for deals, whether they are buying for themselves or buying to resell. The store is as organized as they can get it, with things changing over so much, they pretty much just organize by the percentage of discount (center of the store) or by the typical "department store categories" The staff seemed to be ok. Very busy and focused - on products or moving customers through the lines efficiently. They definitely were all working hard from what I could see. The parking lot is always 3/4 full.
