If you've got someone at home who's immuno-compromised and need something because you're having a bit of an emergency (like a clogged kitchen sink, in my case), go elsewhere. I wish I had known ahead of time that no one cares to wear masks here. I would've gone somewhere else entirely. I was really disappointed. I struggled with the decision to write this review, but I think it's important to know if you or loved ones are at higher risk. I would want to know, so I'm adding this in.

I know I can go and ask for something without any judgement on my technical skills to describe it! I know 9 times out of ten they will have the item. While the big box store might have it for a little less, avoiding the hassle of driving there, battling the crowds, no service, etc. will assure me I should have bought it from the smaller shop.

Having recently purchased a home in Monroe, I was looking forward to friendly, small town service…read more I entered the store and was helped by nice people in the back. I paid for my purchases without event, (or pleasant service) at the register. I reentered the store to find my adult son who had become separated from me. Not locating him I sought to exit the store and encountered a LONG line of people waiting to check out. Since there was no way to bypass the line, and since the space behind the cashiers was very wide and unobstructed and unmarked by any indication of 'no entry', i began my exit by passing behind the cashiers. I was stopped by a very surly woman who proceeded to tongue lash and lecture me like I was little boy in front of a room full of people. (I'm 74 years old). "This is 'cashier territory', you are not allowed back here!!!!" Since I was now more than well past her, I apologized, and slunk off. In retrospect, I should have told her to F-off, but I didn't. I will regret not being able to spend money there anymore, there are other stores and on-line available.

3/24/25. I stopped at Menards after work to buy 3 boards for shelves, needed for an inexpensive, do…read moreit myself project. I found the wood area, but the wood was too long. I needed help and advice, I could find no one. I then found another area that sold finished shelves, again no associate could be found. It was so noisy in the store, it was causing me frustration. The music was loud and playing fast rock, there was a TV in the corner that was loudly talking about cupboards and every few minutes, the "save big money at Menards" song played. The volume to the theme song was louder than the music! Since the store is so big, I called the service desk and asked them to send an associate. I also stated, it was so loud in the store that I thought I was going to have a breakdown! Of course, an exaggerated statement coming from my frustration. Two younger girls showed up with very condescending attitudes. Actually, they were rude. I went back to the lumber area, a young man showed me where shorter boards could be found. I had to go upstairs and carry the 3 boards down the stairs myself. Associate James, walked right by me and made no eye contact. I needed wood screws, I guess I interrupted him by asking where I could find wood screws. He bluntly said, yep, over here. He walked way ahead of me to the screws, when I got there, he waved his hand and said, here they are! The WHOLE experience was AWFUL! I have spent a lot of money in their store, recently having purchased a washer and dryer. I commend associate Stacey, she has always been so helpful and she treats customers with respect.

We seriously looked like fish out of water (no pun intended) in that we were looking for fishing gear because we left all ours back in Chicago. The guy who ran the fishing and tackle department was so knowledgeable and even pointed us to the sale isle in that we were looking for something for the kids. The place was clean and organized - complete with an old fashioned popcorn maker and that darn gumball machine that my kids go crazy for. The nice young man at the counter and my husband exchanged about their military experiences and thank you's and we were on our way. BUT - that's not all! There was a great little market in the adjacent lot on Friday afternoon where we picked up some fresh veggies, bread and meat for dinner. Very charming place -- treated like the first customers of the day, even though we most likely kept them after close. Thanks Koltes!

I recommend giving them a visit if yourself strolling between the shops and restaurants of downtown New Glarus.
