Menards

Stopped in to check out the place while visiting relatives. Really liked the huge selection and prices. Can’t wait for one to be built in my area as I think it will give the other big hardware stores a run for their money.
Plus just seemed to have a bigger variety and that will have me coming back.

Menards is a new chain to me. We do not have these back home in California. It makes me think of a Costco/Sam’s Club with a more Home Depot/Lowe’s feel to it.
I was impressed. This place has A LOT of different things that it’s almost too overwhelming.
I’m sure if you needed something home wise, Menards would have it. I feel like it’s organized kind of strangely — but that’s just me. Their prices are really reasonable. They even have some grocery items! I was pretty fascinated.
I couldn’t find anyone working on the sales floor — but the people working at the registers all seemed nice!

Every time i walk into this store i find something new, makes ya want to do something, selection is extremely nice. employees are always willing to help.
with my wife says so many ideas so little time. I like the lay out better than the other stores but I still regularly shop them as each has their own quirks

Menards is part of a chain of hardware stores. Apparently, they’re expanding, since this store is open and one in Topeka will be opening soon. Basically, they carry the normal stuff a hardware store carries, but they also have a small grocery section. The stores are quite large if you haven’t figured that out.
Came here a few days ago because I was in the area. Had a few items on sale I was looking at, but some of them weren’t stocked. Others weren’t quite what I was looking for. On the plus side, they do stock a lot of things. One thing I hate is they have a lot of items with rebates on them, but the rebates are all for store merchandise checks. The quality of many items is quite low, so you might do better to look around. The prices are cheap though. Staff is friendly and helpful. When I was there, there was more staff than customers, which isn’t surprising for a weekday morning in summertime.
Since I’m rarely in Manhattan, I doubt I would come in often anyways. The deals aren’t worth the hour drive. But if you know what you’re getting into when you come here, then you may or may not like it. Basically, you get cheaply made products cheap. But the grocery section is nice since it could cut down on a side trip if you only needed a few things from the grocery store.
