I'd rather shop at Menards, warts and all, than Home Depot OR Lowe's. It's easy to track down assistance, unlike those other two and there's always something inexpensive to make the trip worthwhile. It's amazing how much less they charge for the exact same item sold on Amazon.

Stopped in and asked for .357 ammunition. Clerk gave me ammo and I checked out. Got Home and saw…read morethe ammo was .327 and not .357. Went to return the ammo and the store staff said it was "against federal law" to take the ammo back. I know this is not true because other stores will and I cannot find anything in the code of federal register to support this. Store staff then said they have signs up saying they cannot take back ammo. Obviously they don't know what they're doing and I will be taking my business elsewhere.

This might be the greatest store for home DIY project builders-- in the world…read more Light fixtures galore, every conceivable electrical, plumbing, carpentry supply and tool. It takes 30-minutes just to walk the aisles -- and that's inside the store. They have more variety in wood and lumber than most lumber yards. You can buy a metal roof at Menards-- I did. You can buy appliances, furniture, auto supplies, food! You can shop for just about anything you can think of here. Really, it's just amazing. If Amazon had a brick and mortar store for home owners, it would look like this. Old-fashioned tried and true products can be found here. The land of simplicity-- Borax and Murphy's Soap. And a place where you can buy a metal roof in 20+ colors (special order @ a very reasonable cost). A dozen eggs for 99 cents?!? Only in Wisconsin! Simply not possible in NY. And Lionel trains at Christmas! They sell Lionel stuff! Based here in Eau Claire, I'm not sure if this is their flagship, or if the store on the west side of town is the flagship location. I feel like I'm visiting the Mecca of Home Building for DIY! There must be a whole lot more home owner builder/maintainers in middle America, because in NY, I have a choice limited to Lowe's and Home Depot -- both pale in comparison to the massive selections available at Menards! I sometimes make special trips to the Menards closest to the East Coast -- located in Warren, Ohio! One more thing, why all the terrible reviews? Makes no sense to me unless it's just disgruntled ex-employees. If Menards decided to open an east coast store in Orange County, New York, I'd be there every weekend. Lowe's would never see me again... Keep up the good work!!!
