Our Story

For more than a century, Wayne General Store has been part of the fabric of Wayne, Maine - a place to pick up what you need, grab something good to eat, catch up with a neighbor, and feel at home.

Since 1923, generations of locals, seasonal residents, and visitors have walked through our doors. While a lot has changed over the years, the heart of a true general store remains the same: good food, everyday essentials, friendly faces, and a strong connection to the community we serve.

A New Chapter

In July 2026, Dawn and Mike became the new owners of Wayne General Store, beginning an exciting new chapter for this longtime community gathering place.

Their vision is simple: honor the history and character that have made Wayne General Store special for more than 100 years while bringing fresh energy and new ideas to the store.

From fresh-baked items made daily and prepared foods to groceries, drinks, snacks, local favorites, and everyday essentials, Dawn and Mike are committed to creating a welcoming store that serves the needs of today's Wayne community while staying true to the spirit of the general store generations have known and loved.

More Than a Store

Wayne General Store has always been more than a place to shop. It's a place to see a familiar face, catch up with a neighbor, grab something for the road, or stock up before heading to camp.

Dawn and Mike are proud to carry that tradition forward and look forward to welcoming longtime customers, seasonal residents, and new visitors through the doors for years to come.

Come in, stay awhile, and be part of the next chapter of Wayne General Store.
