I've been coming to Renys for over 20 years now. I always went to the location in Wells. It used to be an Ames department store years ago. Then we went to Saco and found one there. Every time we stayed in Saco, we went there. I had just finished my wonderful trip in Bar Harbor and we found Renys coming home . It's in Ellsworth and we saw it on the way in. It's a good 30 minutes from Bar Harbor. We wanted to come before but when you are doing Acadia National Park and downtown Bar Harbor, you don't have much time. I am glad I came to see it. It is a big store, clean, and they have a great assortment of shoes, clothes, accessories. Always good prices. I wish I had more time, they were closing in 30 minutes. But I got to look around and remember the good old days of shopping in Renys. When in Maine, you have to come. It's a local store, only found in this state and it's truly fun to shop. read more

We love Reny's. It's a discount store but it carries Carhardtt, Columbia, Merrill boots, Teva sandals and other name brands. The selection is always good at Reny's. You might be able to get items for cheaper if you follow sales, but when you can't find items at other stores, Reny's usually has it. When you're there, go to the spices and seasonings area and buy the Camp Mix. Camp Mix is a salt/Garlic/pepper seasoning that is great for meats, eggs, pasta and Bloody Mary's. The honey/cinnamon is perfect for oatmeal and toast. The Spud flavor is wonderful on pork and chicken. The staff is always helpful and pleasant. read more

So I visited this store on a whim as I never heard of this store before living in Maine. It turns out it's a chain of discount stores only found in Maine. I would say they're similar to a Ross, TJ Maxx, and Marshall's type of store. They have discounted clothing, shoes,appliances, food, gardening supplies, and many more items. If you're on a budget, I would recommend stopping in here to get some household items at a very affordable price. read more

Renys - Department Stores Near Me - Ellsworth, Maine

Reny's is a snapshot of Maine in one store. On one hand you have high end polarfleece, Columbia and Woolrich clothing and on the other hand you have salvage store items and seconds from various factories plus an assortment of clothing for the outdoor work. You can get your shitkickers and carharts here plus pick up a variety of dollar store made in china garbage. They also have a nice selection of good shoes, at high prices. Prices are high on the high end goods, Woolrich and Columbia goods are at MSRP, but the deals can be found if you look on the salvage and seconds racks. but you've got to look. I find that the men's clothing has better deals than the women's, par usual. The camping goods are decent for going to "camp" but not the greatest for people looking for ultralight gear. It's a mish mash of stuff it a deplorably dilapidated and messy store. It lack organization and general cleanliness. I used the bathroom here and yikes. I did manage to walk away for a nice 100% cotton v-neck sweater for the fall. Like I said, you've got to look for the deals. But also put up with the aggravation. read more

Whatever you need, they have it at Reny's. High-end polarfleece? Check. Some long skewers for making s'mores? Check. Shot glasses with colorful phrases and board games you had as a child? Check and check. This is my go-to place for everything when I'm in the area. I come in here to stock up on all the random things I need in my city life but don't want to pay a million dollars for - from workout tops to postcards to travel salt and pepper shakers, they have it all, and for a decent price. The clothing section here is a major attraction - they have all sorts of name brands that you would pay and arm and a leg for somewhere else. The displays are a little abrupt, but that just means you feel like even more of a rockstar when you pull something out of the pile and realize how awesome it would look on you. Win! read more

There are always good bargains to be had at Reny's. They have an extensive selection of Columbia, Woolrich and Carhatt clothing as well as clothing from Eddie Bauer, J Jill, and other brand names. You can find just about anything you need here for your home, be it curtains, pots and pans, dishes, small kitchen appliances, tools, decor, you get the idea. They have a large food selection as well. Some items are brand names and good quality, some are of dubious quality. Know what you are buying. On a recent visit I bought four Eddie Bauer shirts for my husband, a Columbia hat for myself, two bags of Bob's Red Mill granola and a pound of coffee for $45.63. If you are a bargain shopper, it's worth a stop. read more

The outside of this Renys was getting a facelift this month. Someone recommended my going there for Maine type items. When you walk in, there are several shelves devoted to items for the Maine visitor. One third of the store is clothing while the remainder is housewares, grocery, luggage, linens, etc. It's a busy place filled with locals and non-locals. Considering the size of the store there are many selections, some reasonable, some not so much. There aren't many retail choices in Ellsworth so be prepared to be flexible. read more

This store is a place you can buy a little of this and a little of that. The clothes and shoes are more on the spendy side but you can find some good deals. The rest of the store is really nice to walk through and see what you can find. I have found many things there that I could not find any other place in this town and for cheap. The restrooms and dressing rooms are very clean. The employees are friendly and helpful. The store in general is kept clean. When you have that diverse of product your organization can only work its magic so far. This is one of my favorite stores even if we don't have many to choose from here. read more
