"There's no way Menard's is going to buy MTH. "
I think it's 99.9% likely that if a deal with Menard's were in the works, this announcement would never have taken place. It's likely going to be the existing employees carrying on in some fashion, or the deep blue sea, given the announcement that has been made. Any other potential purchaser would almost certainly have seen the announcement as damaging the value of the brand, in my opinion. We'll just have to wait and see how it plays out, but it's not looking promising unless some deal can be struck for the existing staff to continue the firm, and even that looks kind of shaky at present. You don't announce the closing of the business unless you mean it, or are trying to put pressure on someone(s).
