Reny'sQuality Merchandise, Great Values, and a Truly Unique Shopping Experience. You Will Find All Of This And More At Renys!
In 1949, Robert H. Reny (better known to all as “R.H.”), opened his first store in Damariscotta, Maine. The first winter was so slow that in order to keep the store open, R.H. had to go door-to-door around the area selling merchandise out of his old Hudson. That winter he made so many friends that in the spring his new friends came in to shop at the store and the business has been growing ever since! His philosophy was simple – make great buys of quality merchandise and pass these incredible values along at the lowest possible price to our customers! This philosophy has driven our successful business for over 70 years!
Today, Renys Employs Over 500 Employees and Has 17 Store Locations In Maine!
Renys is a third generation, family owned and operated business in the State of Maine. R.H’s oldest son, John, joined the company in 1957 at the age of 5 and his middle son, Robert D. (better known as “Bob”) Reny joined the company in 1959 at the age of 7. John’s oldest daughter, Faustine joined the company in 2009 and Bob’s middle son, Adam came on board in 2013!
