Renys

Renys is a family-owned discount department store chain in Maine, known for close-out and off-price merchandise across clothing, gifts, toys, gourmet food and household goods. Shoppers find name brands such as Carhartt, Columbia, Timberland, Smartwool, Lego and Bob's Red Mill alongside a rotating mix of items that changes from day to day.

The company was started in 1949 by Robert H. Reny, and it now runs 19 stores around the state with more than 500 employees. Gift cards are sold, and the Newcastle address is the company's office and distribution center rather than a retail store, so visitors looking for shopping should check the store locations list.
