I absolutely love Menards! We recently bought a house closer to Chesterfield, and I suggested we…read morecheck out Menards. We also recently started our business and I wanted to specifically look at the paint aisle for paint, stains, bardware, etc.
I was shocked to find a massive store filled with amazing things. We first went to the light area, as it was on the left side of the door. We found light bulbs for an amazing price for the garage on the outside and inside. They had these diamond like ones that work great in a 14ft + garage.
We then walked to the back of the store in search of paint items. They have so many different stain and paint options it is insane! They had more than what we had seen at Home Depot and Lowe's and amazing prices. We found wood filler items to fix furniture, stains, poly's, pre-stain conditioner, and waxes for our furniture. We found super awesome and hsedul buckets for $2 medium size and $0.59 for tiny ones (I hold my screws from hardware in them). They had all kinds of paint supplies such as tapes, rollers, tarps, cans, and other paint tools. I did buy some duct tape for $8 a huge stack of them. Everything they had in the paint section was organized so nicely, and they had a lot of employees that actually ask if you need help. I found out we could get paint thinners in massive cans by ordering from the desk. The paint sections is one of my favorites!
The other section that I really like a lot ( and they have tons and tons of sections of stuff!) was the lumbar area on the far right back corner of the store. When my husband walked through the other side he almost passed out from excitement. They have such a massive variety. We did go to Home Depot, and we had a struggle finding a particle type of board 12in-18in and they pretty much had none. Menards has an abundant amount even bigger than 18in, they had a lot for reasonable prices.
This store is so exciting and I always find something new. Just today, we went to the auto section near the checkout. We found a funnel and fix a flat for our tires. It was easy to find.
They also offer rebate on their receipts but I never really do it. I have thought about doing it though. There is a desk at the back near the exit. They have sheets there for you to take to mail in the rebate.
This is one of my new favorite stores with tools, storage, plumbing, pet, paint, outdoors, lighting, kitchen, heating and cooling, lumbar, auto, hardware, food, and much more!
