I have all three stores in my town (south-central Minnesota) and vastly favor Menards over HD and Lowes. Prices are better, sales are better, selection is better. Great, no- questions-asked return policy. Helpful staff (if you avoid the high-school sophomores). My local Menards has been hiring many "senior citizen" employees in recent years, and they are all helpful and knowledgeable. The store has had the same manager for decades, and he is always on the floor to approach as needed. I was excited when HD was coming to town, but it has been a huge disappointment. Menards is always packed with customers. HD? You could fling a live, flailing Holstein cow down just about any aisle without any danger of hitting anyone. It's even that way on huge sale days like Black Friday. I rarely go to HD or Lowes when Menards is just as close and has what I need. [Reply]   [No Email]
