Most of the Rant I've read here is how bad something is. I just want to say how Great I think Menards is. Just got my annual 2% rebate check form Menards credit card, HSBC, for $67. Down from the previous year's 2% check, $235. Last year I put on a 26x26 room addition. Sure you have to spend the rebate check at Menards, but I'm there all the time. Menards is the only place I call a true lumber yard plus a hardware, electrical, plumbing, windows, doors and paint department. If you have a contractor's card, they will deliver building materials for free, 20 miles and a minimum $1000 order. Or is you know a contractor, all you have to do is put $1 of your order on his card and the delivery is free too. I call Menards a real lumber yard, because you pull your truck or trailer in their yard and they will load you with a forklift. When I go to Lowes have to wheel things out their front door. If you are lucky to find someone, they may put it on a forklift and take it to their front door.
I will give Lowes credit for having a good tool department, Dewalt and Delta tools. A good lawn mower selection, plus the cheapest place to buy mower blades and belts. They also have a good appliance department that has free delivery and set up.
Guess you could say I have the best of both worlds, Menards and Lowes just a few miles away.
