If you read the classifieds in your newspaper this morning, you've might've come across an ad that mentions a new Menard's in Chesterfield Township is currently hiring a delivery truck driver. I only came across it today, but it's possibly been around since December 27.

It appears that the Wisconsin-based home improvement warehouse is finally expanding into Metro Detroit, as currently the closest Menard's to Detroit are in Davison, Jackson and Toledo. They already operate several other stores in outstate Michigan, including the aforementioned Davison and Jackson stores.

This should finally give Home Depot and Lowe's some competition in the Detroit market, since the demise of Builder's Square over ten years ago the two chains have pretty much dominated the region. What do you think of Menard's, after years of operating in other parts of the state, finally entering Metro Detroit? There's another thread that mentions the chain also planned on opening in Livonia, is that still happening?
