They've got nearly anything and everything an aspiring young wooden boy would need to get those elbows sweaty and oiled up. The assortment of random rare wood pieces was the most surprising, yet the board selection is formidable. I bought an ice-cream scoop kit that demands you build it a handle; made a handle for it out of some 25 year-aged osage orange I had sitting around. The kit broke in like 5 ways, so... I don't know, still a great place for wood working enthusiasts. Tools galore, they have so much to play with in there; honestly, first time in, and I spent more than an hour walking around and touching things. They also have a great email system set up, so sign up for that. The location is a little Narnia-esq, what with the lefts and the rights and the straights, and don't get me started on the parking. But worth it I'd surmise. Work some wood; it'll do you good.

**AMAZING customer experience story**…read more The other day I came in looking for a pair of heavy-duty scissors to cut off a piece of plastic that was hanging down from my car making a terrible scraping noise. After a minute of wandering around, an employee, Patrick, asked if I was finding everything alright. I told him what I was looking for and why I needed them. He lead me to the scissors, none of them big or strong enough for what I needed. He asked if I had a utility knife. I said no. He then pulled his out and asked if we could go look at it together, and "maybe save me some money." He then proceeded to, in the 33 degree weather, crouch down to cut this super difficult piece of plastic off of my car for me!! He then explained to me what it was and even suggested his mechanic. It was literally so kind. Instead of just trying to sell me some cheap scissors that we both knew wouldn't work, he took time out of his day to help me with this, at no benefit to him. Y'all have gained a lifetime customer because of Patrick's amazing customer service. Thank you!

I've now been to this store a few times, and also have done online order pickup here a few times…read more First and foremost, this place is HUGE, and pretty much has everything. "EVERYthing?!?" Yes. All of it. They also have pretty strong pricing. Every time I've price shopped or compared with all the usual suspects - both brick and mortar, and online - Menards is either the best price, or darn close. And that's even before the goofy rebates (more below). The primary thing I dislike about their approach to commerce is that they don't offer as liberal a free shipping policy as the likes of Amazon, Home Depot, etc. So, many times I order online and then get stuck being required to come in to pick up my order. It's not the worst thing in the world, but it's definitely a major hit against day-to-day convenience in the Amazon age. The other thing I really dislike is the constant "rebate" scheme they like to employ. I know every place has their goofy quirks, but I really dislike the difficulty of this sort of business practice. It feels about the same as when airlines show you an airfare on the first page, only to find out that there are fees behind that which nearly double the actual cost. It's just a way for them to show you a less-realistic low price to keep you from surfing to the competition. Lastly, while the people who work here always seem polite and are helpful when I speak with them, hunting them down can be akin to finding a needle in a haystack. That said, due to the first point - selling everything - and usually at a fair price, they get plenty of my business!

After searching for several weeks to find the perfect kitchen cabinets and countertops, we finally found what we were looking for at Menards. We showed up with a budget and measurements, but we were lost otherwise. Thankfully, the employees in the Kitchen Design Department were incredibly helpful. After about an hour we walked out with a complete kitchen design and a great plan for our new digs. This will be our spot for any further home renovations. Great prices, awesome design team, and an 11% rebate!

They also won't order the correct product for you, which delays it more and expect you to store the material they do have at your house. The project will be two months late with the 3rd party installation team frustrated as well with how poorly managed Lowe's is. You will ask them to be compensated/refunded and they will offer less than 5% for their screw up and never return phone calls. We have used both Home Depot and Lowe's and home depot is far superior. They do not care about customers nor your project or being on time. The installation person they send out for the initial portion to show their options has zero follow up or follow through once you approve the product and sign the document. They don't offer any help or guidance when things go wrong. The store manager also does not give you the time of day, even on a slow Sunday while you wait for over an hour. This was all for one front door- just a slab with two sidelights! Lowe's was awful, we will never use them again. I doubt we ever shop there again.
