Reny's brings to my mind the old department stores that I now miss, such as Zayre's or Mammoth Mart…read more(or nowadays the equivalent Walmart), where you can find nearly everything you want, from jigsaw puzzles to travel cups to game-playing dice. But the search is easier without the vast expanse of those other department stores I named above. I have found the people are friendly and helpful also. We have a branch in our home town, and this one seems familiar and comfortable in its Reny's "brand." We went there because we are playing their Passport adventure, visiting every store in Maine for winter fun.

I'm always baffled when gems like these don't already have a review…read more Reny's is...how do I put this... Reny's is like a 365-day yard sale. Every once in a while you'll strike gold by finding an expensive product at a deep discount. The place smells like plastic, the cashiers have to wear vests, and they have signs everywhere that read, "smile, you're on camera!" in what I can only assume is an attempt at both underhanded humor and simultaneous theft deterrent.

We have been wanting to try the pizza here because we had some elsewhere in town that was okay but…read morewe thought the crust could have been better. Being fairly new to this part of Maine it is good to develop go-to places for different things. So we ordered a large pepperoni pizza and onion rings. The onion rings were good and the pizza was terrific. The crust was just right. There was an odd thing where it seemed like they hadn't finished slicing the pizza. My mouth is large but not that big! But it was a simple matter to finish slicing it myself. The people were friendly on the phone and in person. I read in a review that the parking could be challenging, so I was prepared to park next door if need be, but it was no problem. They had chicken salad sandwiches that were in small round buns (hamburger rolls?) and turkey sandwiches in small sub rolls. They looked intriguing and they were quite inexpensive so I will keep it in mind if I need to eat a meal on a shoestring sometime or if I want something a little different than the norm. Anyway, the pizza was so good I figure I have to try a cheeseburger there with fries sometime. There is no fast food place in town, so having a place to grab quick meals from would be great. Oil course it is also a convenience store with coffee, drinks and other items available. I didn't see any fresh pastries but there was a Nearly empty display there so they may have been sold out. All in all a place I want to try again, and in walking distance too.

I am surprised to see I have not left a review here yet, as I have been shopping at P & L for a few…read moreyears since we moved to the area. This two-store chain reminds me of the AG stores that you find in small towns as an option to traveling far to a supermarket or the very expensive convenience store prices. The people working here are friendly and they carry a fair variety of items. They have a team of butchers and two display cases, so there is quite a focus on meats. The meat prices tend to be a bit higher than the supermarket, though not always, and I assume the quality is higher also. They usually have some marked-down meats I sometimes avail myself of also. They even have frozen chicken hearts, gizzards and livers, the last of which I sometimes buy for myself and our cats (my wife can't stand liver). They have excellent bakery items, store-made take home meals, a fair variety of produce, drinks, snacks - well, you get the idea. They have a loyalty program that, since I do the bulk of my shopping elsewhere, doesn't result in many five-dollar off rewards, but it also gives me access to their weekly coupons. The grocery items are usually a bit higher than the supermarkets, which have an increased volume of sales, but perfectly reasonable , nowhere near convenience store pricing. Plus you are supporting a local business. There are also gas pumps off to the side if you want to get that done while you are there.

The meat seems retail and no longer from local butchers or farmers. The prices are very steep! It's…read morelike comparing convenience store prices to Walmart. It's significantly more expensive. Service is usually pretty good. All the ladies in there are really nice except for one she's kind of moody. But I suppose we all have our days I know I do. The atmosphere is good. It's clean. People are friendly. Basically, the biggest thing is the prices and the fact that the meat doesn't seem to be the same quality it used to be otherwise I would've given him a five stars review.

WARNING! The 2025 Caswell's is under new ownership and the prices of "the old days" are no longer…read more You can buy a box of generic mac and cheese at walmart for .58 cents or you can go to Caswells and pay over $1.25 for a box of mac and cheese that is crushed, covered in dust, and a month from expiring. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY!! Shame on the New Owners for taking advantage of the elderly and the poor and everyone else that goes there. The Caswell's that everyone came to know and love through the years is DEAD and has ceased to extend its' legendary status in 2025. I has to add 1 star, btw, to post this. Pathetic.

As a child, I used to go to Cases lots with my mother​ and was fascinated by the plethora of goods…read more As an adult, my visits became fewer and far between, but I still make it there occasionally. I'm not concerned about expiration dates as long as the packaging is intact; dates are not set in stone, regardless of what some think. I'm getting ready to make another trip to Caswell's soon. They have excellent prices, variety, and quality, if you know how to look. A great place to save money.

Cool building, plenty of parking a decent selection of shoes for everyone…read more We were greeted on the way in and informed that if we needed any help or had any questions, which shouldn't hesitate to ask. They had so many options for running and walking shoes - colors and styles and really great discounts. We ended up buying shoes, all of which were at least 40% off. Such a great deal in a store! Usually I only see these types of discounts online. We bought some for me and some for my niece. I was also able to buy running gloves! The person at the checkout was so nice and upbeat as well. Such a great experience. I just wish I lived closer. Worth stopping to look at running shoes.

I've never experienced that at New Balance. Exceptional customer service from start to finish and they help you even find the best deal or sales going on. Thank you for all your hard work. Keep it up!!

The shop is okay, but the layout is bizarre. It's located in an old building with a downstairs and…read morean upstairs, in addition to the main floor. The upstairs is really not organized very well, but the rooms are cool because it used to be an office building and so it's like a maze. Lots of furniture and other large items, very few smaller items. The book room on the second floor is very messy and unorganized. There are books and magazines on the floor, scattered about. They don't appear to be sorted by subject. It's an okay shop to stop in and browse, but it's not somewhere I personally would come back to.
