Marden's Inc.

Maine Children’s Home recently celebrated community members and partners who support the nonprofit’s work to build and strengthen families across the state.

Marden’s is setting up in a former Burlington location, while the latter is getting ready to open in a location less than a mile down the road.

The Winslow-based discount chain plans to expand its footprint with its 14th store, this time in Franklin County.

As Marden’s Surplus & Salvage, a Winslow-based discount retail chain, enters its 60th year, the owners are feeling optimistic about the merchandise it has to offer to customers coming into 2024.

Like many retailers, Marden’s has worked diligently on hiring over the past year. The hiring needs are different from location to location, but the company plans on keeping its goal of finding the right people to join its team.

The nonprofit will need an estimated $6.3 million in resources over six months to feed Mainers, it said, citing the COVID-19 crisis. Among businesses responding to the crisis is Maine retailer Marden's.
