Burger King! I can smell the flame broiled goodness
I think it's obviously a building, could be a restaurant or Cabinet Bob's workshop! Just sayin!
The three rotating warp nacelle fronts to a Starfleet Dreadnought style starship?
Really! You had to have rotating vents. I have no idea what it could be but I want one.

Could this be the Red Owl grocery store?

It could be my Christmas present!
Oh my, it's a girls shower room.
Red Owl store.. Final answer...
Rotating vents? What a neat idea. How come I didn't think of that, myself? Now, let's see what they are on.

YOU Sir, are way too funny !!!
A roof-top bar. Those are the bar stools.....
Whatever it is; I thought I could have lived without it, until now 
If it's a factory, or some industry, I am in. If it's another downtown retail business, I maybe out.
I am holding out for some kind of small industry. But then again rotating roof vents could be on top of many things. Guess we will have to wait for another teaser. Until then I have my new station to keep me stable..........Paul
I only give a hoot if it's the Red Owl store.
I would love a diner... but I don't think that's a diner roof in the picture.
I don't think these vents are on the roof. I think they are either on the back wall or on one of its sides. Maybe a supermarket, a meat packing plant or a fish market.
When did you see turbine vents mounted on a wall?

I believe those are roof vents

IDK but you are a few years too late! These rotating vents work great from Model Tech Studios!

Same goes for this operational exhaust fan too!
I don't think they are vents.
Those little red marks must mean something.
They're mounted on what looks like a cement block structure. I haven't the slightest clue.
99.9 % sure.. roof vents on the Red Owl Store...
If it is a Red Owl store, I hope they make this truck too.

BINGO !!! And ordered.. WOW !!!
Bingo? Wow? We haven't gotten anything yet on the East Coast! They do come directly to you Bob, I knew it!!!
I can't find it on there page, do you have the sku?
Introducing our newest building – The O Gauge Red Owl Store!
Enhance your train layout with an O Gauge Red Owl Store! Modeled after a real Red Owl storefront that existed in Eau Claire, WI, this prebuilt and prelit model is a beautiful representation of a grocery store franchise from yesteryear. Plus, it has over 45 LED lights!
Outfitted with 24 LED lights on the exterior, the Red Owl’s iconic sign comes to life with a steady-on or playful blinking pattern. And beneath the beaming light, you’ll notice that this small store is brimming with eager shoppers and well-stocked shelves. Peer through the wide windows to watch the shoppers as they peruse the simulated grocery aisles within. A total of 8 figures are scattered throughout this attractive structure, which includes 6 adults (4 individuals with shopping carts), 1 child and Jack the German Shepherd!
And on the roof, you’ll see 3 animated ceiling vents and 2 air conditioning units, which really put this display over the top. Along with vintage “Ivory Snow” and “Kellogg’s” advertisements encasing its exterior walls, this train model is also adorned with “Red Owl” lettering that is illuminated by 20 LED lights! Plus, with the addition of truck doors on the backside of the building, this Red Owl Store looks like its back in business! SKU# 279-3472
The footprint of this beautiful structure is 8-5/8" x 17-1/2" and height is 5-1/2".
Thank you,

rboatertoo,
We are on a blistering pace, that's for sure. I hope you like this building as much as we do!

ordered ! bin waiting for this one
Man, that sure is cool! Too bad I don't have a place on my layout for one, I hope Menards keeps up the great work and everyone who wants one, gets to enjoy it.
Another gem from our friends at Menards. 
How do they do it? 
Mark,
Agree, very cool. Thanks for specifying the exact dimensions. I went to the website after Bob's "Wow" since we had nothing else to go by. The dimensions there are a bit confusing. I'll have to do some serious thinking (and gluing) to create a space for this one. Looks fantastic!! I want this one and the new station, but, no more room to spare on my 35 foot long table.
Since I may have to put these 17 inches high, off the table (uppermost level), can anyone remind me how the guys wire these without the 4.5 adapter?

You need to buy the 4.5 adapter to power it up.see the website to order it. Bob
