Renys, the Maine-based retail chain, plans to open a new store in Windham this spring.

The store will occupy the corner of the Windham Mall on Route 302 previously occupied by Big Lots and Summit Adventures, according to a release from the company.

John Reny, president of R.H. Reny, said the selection of Windham was aided by the town’s proximity to Bridgton, where deliveries are made daily to that store.

Renys most recently opened department stores in Portland and Topsham in 2011, and currently has 16 locations in Maine. Founded in Damariscotta in 1949, the company employs more than 500 people.
