Menards

Employees are helpful but restrooms are filthy! Also went to Holland location and restrooms were just as bad.

I have been in the rental property, handyman business for 10 years, and i have only shopped at Menards a a dozen times. So often have I found their products and service lacking. This last problem was this week when I went to order steel roofing for a house. The roofing «specialist» is probably a good guy, but seemed hard of hearing, which I cannot blame him for, except that he did not hear my order, asking me «What?» several times during the process. Since this was the first time I have ever ordered a product for delivery from the store, I assumed the order would be to my specifications, which I laid out carefully 25 – 30 minutes it took to ensure the order was filled. When the delivery arrived, the delivery driver did not place the materials where I instructed him to just minutes before. Given this experience, i would highly recommend for shoppers to go elsewhere for the home repir needs.

Great store that blows Home Depot and Lowes prices out of the water in my opinion. Menards knows how to make the do-​it-​yourself man very happy. No nonsence, no rip off prices, no b.s. Mail in rebates are available if you want to save even more money on the already low prices. I drive extra from Monroe to go to Menards rather than shopping at the local Lowes. The lumber barn also has a good selection.

What they lack in knowledge they make up for in price. Really can’t beat their prices. Sometimes I have lowes or Home Depot match prices but that’s only because they are more close to me

If you like cheap prices but horrible service this is your place. However, the cheap prices are all marked incorectly or are old and heaven forbid they honor them. Plus you get made to feel like an inconvenience when you ask for a price check.

Just off the highway and near a Meijers and a landfill, this store is easy to find. Menard’s differentiates itself from the other home improvement stores by it’s signature color, which is Monopoly House Green, reminding you that it costs money to make a home. The outside of the store is neat and tidy, as is most of Toledo.
The customers don’t run around in pajama bottoms like they do in Monroe, so that is refreshing. The people of Monroe are a race alone. Camo and pjs and hunting caps remind me of Elmer Fudd awakening from hibernation. But the people of Toledo dress sensibly. They realize that nail guns demand a change in wardrobe befitting their dangerous nature.
Inside it it like almost all home improvement places, except the people of Toledo are serious and don’t chatter. IT was tough to get them to smile. They politely reminded me that I needed to go in on the other side to fully experience the store correctly. Since I am from Monroe, I broke the rules. My sister was here to get a toilet seat and we didn’t have time to waste. My brother in law was at home and needed to go (to work, that is, and we wanted him to put it on).
They store the toilets strangely here. They are displayed above eye level. So if you order one, you can only see the pedestal. You won’t be able to do a trial run (maybe that’s why they are up high) and will have to guesstimate how much thigh muscle activity you will have to do per use.
The seats were below and my sister was disappointed that she couldn’t get the $ 9.99 one so she had to settle on the $ 14.00 one. The great thing about Menard’s is that they highlight American Made, so we were able to get one of those. Go USA!
Since my sister is an HGTV fiend, we wandered around. They have a great lighting section and even lava lights and some cool solar lights that looked like Day Glo dandelions that I would love to see on a lawn.
They also have a furniture area, and yes, lots of it is displayed up! Some cool no-​edge canvas blowups of leaves and tulips and even greeting cards. But the best was the pantry!!! Yes, you can send your man to Menard’s and he can come back with a seasoned pork roast. Cross it off the to-​do list! That’s what it said on the side of the cooler, really! Meal planning as a chore! Yummy!
But they also had something I couldn’t resist-Mikesell’s Smoked Bacon Chips! Plus some Root Beer Float Popcorn! My Oscar shopping list was complete! Party on!
Best part was check out! The toilet seat was three dollars off! Yay!!!
P. S. They have tattoo sleeves in the best buy area for $ 2.00! Great for the trip back to Monroe!
