Menards

[Rob K.]

A Menards just opened in my area. I've heard about this store for years, but never had the chance to go inside one. They've been mailing out flyers like crazy and seem to have good deals on stuff. I currently buy most everything at Home Depot - except paint, lumber, appliances, plumbing supplies, and roofing supplies. I'm not a fan of Lowes at all.

Just wondering what those of you who shop at Menards usually buy there? Do they have contractor discounts? Better selection? Is there anything you like from there that's better/cheaper than HD? Anything you like better at HD?

My cousin lives in a depressed area of Ohio and has a Menards there. Home Depot closed. He has been raving about Menards and said they will have sales on American made products. I think that's a great idea.

Any feedback would be appreciated.
