With or without a mission, this place is just fun to walk around. Be careful though, spend too much…read moretime here and you'll leave with a long list of projects! Prices are good and staff is pretty knowledgeable and always helpful. For bigger stuff, I would still recommend shopping around. Chances are you'll find your best deal here but you might catch a better sale somewhere else depending on timing.

First, I want to acknowledge what Menards does well. Its selection of building materials is…read moreoutstanding, and the Sandusky store has many genuinely friendly, knowledgeable, helpful employees. Unfortunately, my experiences with upper management have been a very different story. Over the past several years, I have watched what was once a phenomenal store develop a troubling pattern of poor customer service from its leadership. My experience today is a perfect example. I'm planning a custom woodworking project requiring a substantial amount of expensive red cedar. Yesterday, I spent considerable time examining the lumber in the yard, assessing quality and availability, and working out my budget. Several employees offered to help, and all were courteous. At the Pro Desk, another employee explained how I could order additional material beyond the limited, picked-over stock on hand. I thanked him, went home, and finalized my list. Today, I returned ready to place an order exceeding $1,000. I was assisted by someone whose name tag identified him as a general manager. When I explained the ordering process described to me the day before, I was abruptly told that I was wrong and that it wasn't possible. What followed was some of the most condescending, dismissive, and unnecessarily unpleasant customer service I have encountered in retail. I have no problem being corrected. Employees sometimes misunderstand policies, and ordering procedures can be complicated. A competent manager could have simply explained the situation and helped me find a solution. Instead, I was treated as though asking reasonable questions was an inconvenience. I left without confidence in the process and ended up ordering 50% more lumber than I actually expect to need, simply to ensure I have enough for the project due to his poor attitude. Sadly, this wasn't an isolated encounter. I have experienced similarly poor attitudes from upper management here before. As a frequent customer, I've gotten to know a number of employees, and several have independently expressed frustration with changes in the store's management culture. Their comments align with what I've observed firsthand. I won't identify them, but it saddens me that people who do such a good job serving customers seem to receive so little leadership by example. I don't claim to be a major commercial account, but I purchase supplies for numerous custom projects and spend considerably more here than an occasional shopper. That said, it shouldn't matter whether someone is spending $10 or $10,000. Every customer deserves basic respect. I've received far better service from fast-food managers in rough neighborhoods handling a $10 order than I received here while placing a four-figure lumber order. I previously contacted Menards corporate about another management-related incident, only to receive a disappointing response. That leaves me hoping a public review might finally get someone's attention higher up within Menards corporate management team. I've generally had excellent experiences at larger Menards locations in the Cleveland area, although I shop in Sandusky far more often. I genuinely wonder why this location has become so different. This store has terrific employees, an impressive selection, and enormous potential. It should not be held back by management attitudes that make loyal customers dread asking for help. I hope someone at Menards corporate visits Sandusky, listens to employees and customers, and takes a serious look at management training, accountability, and the atmosphere leadership is creating. Good employees deserve good leaders, and customers deserve to be treated with courtesy, not contempt. I want this store to succeed. I remember when shopping here was a pleasure, and I'd love to see that return. Menards, please do better.

This location needs a better review than the last one, so I'm here to give it. I visit a lot of…read moreGoodwills in the region, and this is one of the best. Employees seem to know everyone but are nice regardless of who you are. The store is large and well organized, but be aware they don't use colored tags but rather colored barbs on all of the products. If you're used to tags, this can be a bit of a confusion at first. Their sales are much better than the ones from my region in Cincinnati. They do flat pricing on 90% of items with only a small markup on popular brands. On Saturdays, color of the day is 75% off. Back home, we're lucky to get 50% and it's a weekly thing so it gets wiped out quickly. I scored bags and bags of clothes for an average of $1 a piece. All name brands, all in great condition. If you're in the area for Cedar Point or just needing a new place to go, I'd recommend this Goodwill. It's always packed, so be aware of that, but it's reasonable.

What an interesting experience at Goodwill to say the least. Stopped here to see what they had to…read moreoffer. The place has a distinct smell that hits you at the door. There are tons of rows of clothing, and there are some decent options. The electronics and other departments are very disappointing and most of the items don't even work. This Goodwill was very dirty, and wasn't that kept up. Thought it would be a little more kept up since it's always busy, and since it's in a popular city. Would only shop here for the clothing, but after that I wouldn't stop here.

Next time I need a repair, I'll have to try somewhere else because this place is CRAZY expensive. I paid $150 just for them to figure out what the solution was. That fee is not applied to what you pay for the actual repair should you decide to have them fix it like it would at a car repair place; it's just $150 to have them tell you what's wrong. They then quoted me $250 to reinstall windows and fix a broken hinge. I was iffy but said yes partially due to the sunken cost of the diagnosis and mostly because they promised me they would be able to upgrade my laptop to Windows 11, which the laptop had been telling me was not possible. So this seemed somewhat worth it to me to have them do. I went to pick up the fixed laptop, and immediately noticed that they had to drill totally new screw holes into it to install the new hinge. It looks pretty bad, but I'm really not picky about aesthetics so I let it go. But then they started it up to show me it was working, and I cannot even explain how INCREDIBLY slow it was as they tried to use it. Like, Windows 98 was faster than this thing was running, and I had previously never had any speed issues with it. I said something along the lines of how disappointed I was that I had now spent $400 and honestly couldn't even realistically use the laptop anymore. They offered to just install Windows 10 again instead, but like I said, the main reason I decided to pay all that money was because they assured me they could upgrade it to Windows 11. So they ended up refunding me for the repairs (I'm still out the diagnosis fee) and wiped the laptop and gave it back to me. After going home and doing some research on my own, I was able to reinstall Windows 10 on my own in about a half hour for $10. I cannot believe they were going to charge me almost $200 to do that!!! My laptop is now working exactly as it did before, and I learned my lesson.
