I am updating my review from a few years ago just to add some pictures I took recently, as I hadn't…read morerealized there weren't any already added. My earlier review, brief as it was, still sums up my positive opinion of Reny's, a truly Maine chain of stores where I have shopped dozens of times without a single negative experience. There is street parking and a small parking lot to the left of the store. They also have a passport activity you can use as a day trip experience, whereby you are given a passport to bring to all or some of the branches around the state and have them stamped and signed by an employee. You get a prize halfway through the 19 stores and another at the end. To quote the chain's public relations, it is part of the Maine Adventure!

Reminds me of Woolworth's or Grants back in the 60s and 70s. A lot of variety, nice clean store and we found some snack items that we hadn't seen before.

I still do some of our supplemental grocery shopping here: either harder to find items or those that bear a cost saving for us, such as quarts of heavy cream. If the item is the same price as at our local supermarket, the 2% cash back loyalty program win it for our local supermarket. And we still buy some non-grocery items here, rather than automatically ordering from the mega online company that I will not name here. Another change is that I have switched to the Walmart pharmacy for a couple of prescriptions, one for myself and the other for a pet. The service is excellent and the pricing an improv over our previous pharmacy. A supplemental benefit is that if I want to use up rewards money from my health insurance card, the self-service registers accept the card when other stores did not.

We went there because we are playing their Passport adventure, visiting every store in Maine for winter fun.

But for non-grocery items and even food in some cases (a box of pasta was less here than in a supermarket as long as you aren't stuck on brand names), it makes sense to keep this Family Dollar/Dollar Tree in mind. I recently needed to find a birthday gift bag, tissue paper, ribbon and birthday card, and they had a fair selection and I matched the colors of all the items. Where else could you buy stockings, reading glasses, a storage crate, ice cream and craft supplies in one visit without wandering endlessly around a huge store? So far staff persons have been friendly and the wait times negligible. Obviously some things can't be found here, but it can be a nice alternative for a quick spot of shopping.

The prices on the items are normal retail prices and each rack will have the percentage off above it. Most of the clothes are 30% off the retail prices.

That makes for some great shopping. Staff is always helpful.

We visited a NY outlet back in early March but were stumped to noticed there weren't any home stores and left us with the urge for 'home' outlet shopping. So on our drive south to Portland, ME from Bar Harbor, hubs and I decided to see this L.L. on Rt 1 in Ellsworth. I honestly think the men's clothing (more so than the women's) are a bit on the cool side so picked up a few casual tops for my husband since he's still working from home and some lightweight cargo pants. While I'm a proud owner of their heavy-duty canvas totes for the last umpteen years (I own 2 large ones), the clothes not so much. L.L. women's clothes aren't my style- and not to say anything wrong about it, but the clothes are more for a certain crowd. There are those duck boots and small wooden furniture on the floor also for sale. But I finally got my hands on a white-grey cotton sheet set and a down grey comforter that I've been wanting. As the cashier scans your items, you'll notice their original, jacked-up prices- so don't let it spook you the way it did to me as discounts are applied at the end. Once we paid, I didn't feel this was my doom-and-gloom outlet visit. Service was nice and respectful by the way.
