The sales may or may not mean anything -- rumor has it the owner John Menard is a train guy, oh, and he is a billionaire.
Given the size of the company #37 on Forbes list of largest in the country, with 45,000 employees, and north of 9.5 billion in annual revenues. By comparison in a 2013 article Lionel said they had total annual revenues of 100 million. That is an 8.5 billion dollar a year difference, or roughly $23 million dollars a day in Menards favor. I kind of doubt the financials of Menards are moved by $19.95 box cars, unless they are selling 2.5 million of them a year, at which point they are worth 190th of Menards total sales of 9.5 billion dollars. ��
