The main draw here is Reny's, a Maine department-type store. I had never shopped in a Reny's before It's very different -- not quite a department store, not a clothing store -- but it has some nice clothes for men/women/kids at very reasonable prices. There are grocery items, towels, rugs, shoes, kitchen items, candy, toys -- it's a very eclectic assortment of stuff. They even have chocolate bars made by or made for them, but the milk chocolate one I had was terrible. In the same shopping center, there's a restaurant called Logger's that seems to be popular, a bank, a grocery store, and some other smaller shops. It's convenient, just a few blocks from downtown.

There is a new pharmacist named Mary Donatelli, She is extremely rude and I will not be going back, and I go every month for my scripts. I have never been treated so poorly..

5/27/2018 The very worst customer experience. My family was visiting the area for Memorial Day weekend. Some friends had recommended Renys as a good place to get good brands at a reasonable price. My husband and I took our college-aged student (second year at UVM) on Sunday, May 27 to look for some clothes for his summer job as a camp counselor. As we walked the aisles to find some shorts, sandals and tanks, I noticed that a store clerk began following my son from rack to rack. After watching this go on for ten minutes, I walked up to her and asked if there was something wrong. I nodded to my son, and she smirked at me. I said, That's my son you are following, and the look on her face immediately changed. I am Caucasian and my son is African American. She said, I'm not doing anything wrong. I replied, Neither is my son. I asked to speak to her supervisor, and the clerk responded, This is why I hate working this job. I walked to the supervisor's office, and the on-duty supervisor, Shannon, greeted me. I explained what occurred and that it looked like the clerk was profiling my son. She explained that the clerk was simply doing recovery, as my son was looking through the racks. It was a fast and pat answer. I noted that there were several other customers in the aisles and that the clerk did not seem to be doing recovery for them. She said she did not know what else to tell me. I asked Shannon for the her manager's name for which which she provided an 800-number. She said no one would be in the office until Tuesday. I assured her I would be calling on Tuesday, as well as contacting ACLU Maine. This customer experience was a Maine adventure alright, but in the very worst way. This is not the way that life should be.

This shopping center had easy access from the Maine Turnpike and US Route 1. It had several businesses. The main attractions for travelers were the well-rated Lucky Loggers Landing Restaurant, Key Bank and TD Bank for ATM’s, a Shaw’s Supermarket with an Osco Pharmacy, Mail Boxes Etc./UPS Store to mail stuff home, and Renys, the Maine-based department store that bills itself as “A Maine Adventure.” On my most-recent visit, I had a very good breakfast at Lucky Loggers Landing Restaurant and shopped at Renys. Based on its convenient location, multiple banking choices, and the quality of the restaurant and Renys, I rate Saco Valley Shopping Center at 4.0. I recommend a stop there.
