Today the BH Menards opened after what seemed to me like a very long buildout. I've been watching for well over a year - I thought it would be open in the fall for Christmas but not until today is it finally open.

It is a nice addition to the area and provides some competition for Lowes and Home Depot in the area.

Where else can you get a 2x4, a gallon of milk and an anniversary card under one roof? Plus someone at Menards likes toy trains - they carry quite a selection in the store around Christmas and online even more.
