Most of the parking is located to the side of the store. The gas line always seems to be long and it's because of the layout in my opinion. I'm glad to see so many people shop and get gas here, as I don't want this location to close. The prices were fair prices and still makes the membership worth it. The staff seemed very tired, but nice enough. The selection is decent. We found what we needed. If we are in the area, we will continue to go here. We would not go out of our way.

I haven't tried the bath…read moresoaks or lotions yet, but since their other products have surpassed my expectations for quality and value, I'll be using the entire line as soon as they're restocked. I've been troubled for years with dry, burning lips- even during the summer! I've tried every brand out there- organic, handmade, etc. Only Long Winter Soap lip balm has ameliorated this problem for me. I'm THRILLED! The flavors are delish! The perfume oils have been very exciting for me as well because I'm not able to use commercial perfumes without developing headaches. I had resigned myself to not wearing any perfumes or body sprays. I'm very impressed with the fact that Long Winter Soap Company doesn't use any alcohol in their perfume oils! I was afraid to give them a chance, but for $10, WHY NOT TRY???? I'm so glad I did. I'm OBSESSED with the blends and how long they last. Unbelievable! The two bars of soap I've used were exceptional as well. I cut each bar in half and keep it in an open soap box. I just make sure it's not sitting in water, and the entire bar lasted 6 weeks. The scents are great, and my skin is clean, not gummy, or stripped. I love it. I'd be remiss if I didn't mention the professional, efficient, and top-notch customer service. Not only does the owner answer emails quickly, she got my *multiple* holiday orders out before Christmas, she did it despite Maine weather obstacles. Another awesome feature for online shoppers: the website shows EXACTLY how many items remain in inventory so you can shop intelligently. Also, if a product you want is out of stock, they have an automatic notification service so you will know immediately when its back in stock! I can't say enough about this wonderful business!!!!

Reny's... a Maine Adventure…read more There are Reny's all over the state of Maine, but I hadn't been in one in a while. Wanting a few odds and ends, I stopped by the Topsham store recently and it was fun; there's really no other way to put it. Reny's is just about as Maine as you can get, and that's just one of the reasons I love it so much. What *can't* you find at Reny's? According to their website, it's been said that, "If Reny's doesn't have It, then I don't need it!" You never know what you're gonna find on any given day at Reny's, because their merchandise is always changing -- it's a constant treasure trove of food, toys, household goods, seasonal decorations, health and body stuff, and (much, much) more. At my latest trip here, we scored some vegan pizza flavored lentil chips from one of our favorite brands for $3 (which is $3 cheaper than what they go for at natural grocers!). Honestly, you come here for one thing, and you leave with an armful of other things. I'll echo what another reviewer said: Reny's "seems to have things you use but don't think of or can't buy in a box store. So keep it local and check our Renys you won't be disappointed!" Also, the people who work here couldn't be any nicer. Every employee I walked past asked me how I was doing and if I needed any help with anything -- and not in an obligatory way, but genuinely friendly like. It makes you feel at home. That being said: Bring a cup of coffee, there's so much to look at and explore that you're gonna be here a while!

Workers are pretty helpful from what I've experienced and always super kind. They seem to have good inventory of all sizes, which is why I LOVE COMING HERE! Highly recommend!

**November 2025: Friday Night Visit**…read more I needed to pick up some quart size sandwich bags, and this super market had that and so much more. I'm amazed by how huge this store was and the variety of everything you could ever need and more. I also liked that there are different sections that have Maine Made items and that there are little signs that say "local" if you wanted to pick up some regional items. I really wanted to pick up some fresh Maine milk, and Maple BBQ sauce, but unfortunately since I was at the tail end of my roadtrip I couldn't take much expect for a small bag of salt and vinegar potato chips and my sandwich bags; however, if I come back to Portland, I'll know where I can buy some regional goodies!

There are plenty of pre-made options if you're looking for food on the go (although the chicken wings at $9.99 a pound are a total rip off), a dedicated local product section (please expand!), and some interesting international offerings (chive dumplings!). My only complaint is that it is weirdly organized - like the pasta sauce and pasta section at the end of the wine aisle (wine and pasta do go together, but in a grocery store?). I would love to see this location expand the local and international offerings, and maybe have some kind of newsletter? It feels like a community hub, and I know they do a lot to help the immigrant community but it wasn't very apparent to me as a customer.

The store was neatly organized and well stocked, like most Bull Moose stores. The staff was super attentive and friendly. You can tell they are well liked by customers/community - they seemed to know everyone that was in there. We just had a quick visit to pick up an online order. It was fast and so easy. The person that helped us was really nice and we could hear that she had a cold of some kind - so I was relieved to see that she was wearing a mask in consideration of others. There were a lot of elderly customers while we were there and I can't imagine an illness would be helpful. The prices, especially for newer releases are very competitive even against giants like amazon. And it's supports Bull Moose - locally owned with much better customer service than big box. They also have never cancelled a pre-order on us, unlike other big retailers. Bonus - their loyalty program is AWESOME!!!!!

My wife and I needed to waste some time before another spot opened nearby and we decided to swing in. I will say they had some large name brand items that appeared to be cheaper than other places offer them. Although I do think part of the issue with here and other similar stores is the fact a lot of items are more or less junk in reality once you look past the commonly known brands. To their credit the store was well organized and offered a large variety of items ranging from houseware, clothes, seasonal items even some Christmas and Halloween stuff still. Was surprising that Halloween stuff was only discounted by 50% off considering how long it's been since the holiday. Service check out wise was quick and friendly. If you search around I think you can find some good deals but a lot of it seems questionable quality wise even at the "discounted" prices. As a lifelong Mainer I think I'd be quicker to return to Marden's than Ocean State. In the end, not too bad for a quick browse to waste some time.
