Reny's Announces Closure of Portland, Maine Store Due to Post-Pandemic Sales Decline
Reny's, a well-known retail store in Portland, Maine, has announced the closure of its location on Congress Street, effective December 31, 2025. The store, which has been a fixture in the downtown area for nearly 15 years, is closing due to sluggish sales following the pandemic. The decision was communicated to employees in June, and the official closing date has now been set. The store has been a popular destination for locals seeking a variety of goods, from clothing to household items. In addition to sales challenges, safety concerns in the area have also contributed to the decision to close the store. The closure will leave a significant gap in the availability of everyday goods for residents of the Portland peninsula, who will now have fewer options for shopping without needing to travel further afield.
