Menards is a great place for just about anything for home improvement projects, with a good selection of items in stock and fair prices. It is described as if Walmart and Lowe's had a baby, and it is on steroids as a compliment. Customers save big money and appreciate the great sales and clearance items. The store is always clean and organized. The staff is actually helpful and most are knowledgeable, cheerfully assisting customers to find specific items. However, the store can be very busy, leading to long lines when only a few registers are open. Occasionally, certain sections like the garden center may have access issues, requiring a long walk through the store. Compared to competitors like Lowe's and Home Depot, which are often out of stock, Menards is deeply missed by those who have moved away.
