Will it blow Meijer's and K-mart off the competitive list or retreat like Jack in the Box restaurants?

Menard's competitors are other big-box home improvement/hardware stores like Lowe's or Home Despot.

NEVER! Jack in the Box retreated back to the midwest and the western states since 1980. Far as the Jack in the Box goes is at St. Louis, Missouri.

There used to be a Jack in the Box Resturants [[ that I know) was at Woodward Ave. near Temple next to small White Castle Restaurant and the Old Donovan-Motown Annex building once stood.

One on Plymouth Rd. and Evergreen Rd.

One on Ford Rd and Farmington Rd. in Westland

One on Michigan Ave and Outer Drive in Dearborn.

No The Jack in the Box restuarant on Ford Rd and Farmington Rd. was closed after 1980. It was replaced by Sliverman's Restaurant. After Slivernman's closed it was replaced by a local Arab owned cell phone shop.

The Jack in the Box on Woodward Ave near Downtown Detroit next to a small White Castle Restaurant was close after 1980. It building was vacant until it was demolished alond with old White Castle and the Donovon-Motown building annex. Now it a Pre-South Bronx like vacant [[ parking lot) with two tall abandoned Salvation Army Harbor Light building and Hotel Eddystone still standing.

The Jack in the Box on Plymouth Rd and Evergreen Rd. is now a Coney Island.

The Jack in the Box on Michigan Ave and Outer Drive St. is now Tubby's sub shop.

There was also one at the large intersection of Fort Street, Trenton Road and Pennsylvania Road in Southgate, it was a Tubby's in the 1990's, it is now a Metro PCS store.

And to get back on topic, I hope Menard's moves into the former Farmer Jack space at the Southgate Shopping Center. Last Menard's I've seen was in Toledo in October 2010.
