Menards World Headquarters Building Pictures

Your drone skills are impeccable !

They look really big.  Great shots.

It looks like the Menardsville Fire Department needs to invest in some high rise ladder trucks now!

That looks really good.  How tall is it?  I have one spot left on the layout for something that large.  PLAYBOY east needs a new world headquarters.

Two good size buildings in a row. The Cleveland Indians could of used these home runs. Dad your drone operator skills are turning you into an ace for aerial photography. Nice job....................Paul

It's 23 1/2 " tall.. half inch taller than the hotel.. Bob

Looks like we need a Starbucks hopper now to bring the coffee in.. HINT  HINT .

Looks good there Bob, I would think you could switch out the roof for some clear plexi glass! You are the builder! And to come to find out a Drone flyer also! LOL

Looks great...even like the look of the dark windows without the lights on....homerun for Menards! Now we need a tall building with a rooftop bar or restaurant...that would be a first and an instant hit..think of the possibilities

That looks great............

Here is Menardsville at nite.

If you leave Menardsville lit up all night does the hum of your electric-meter keep you awake or lull you to sleep ?

Guys, no drone, Dad took those from his Menards crane! LOL

Mark should get Menards to come out and build you an addition to your train room.

You got to be needing one pretty soon.

Awesome!!

The horizontal glass without any vertical mullions is not construct-able. How could anyone place what appears to be seven (7) 60 foot long pieces of glass? Not to mention that that glass is structurally unsupported. 

A wolf could huff and puff that pane away.

The building is nice but has anyone else noticed that they started selling nice buildings at the $70.00 level but their latest offerings are now larger but over a hundred.

The first buildings were smaller. These last ones are probably three times bigger. But pricewise only ten dollars more then the Morton Salt or power plant. Plus more lighting in them. So to me they are still a great bargain....

Thanks "CB"....

I always look forward to your reviews.

Excellent pics....now I want one too!!

Donald

Thanks for the pics and the nice review!  

Now for some whimsy, perhaps Menards will release a Starbucks Coffee tank car to come out of the building.  On a jocular note, and, as a dedicated caffeine fan, that would definitely create some buzz!

WOW all you guys missed it.  If you look at the menu above the counter inside of Starbucks you'll see that they don't sell coffee at all.   Boy did Mark have you guys fooled.

Can a brewery be in the making?

Guys,without mentioning names, on the third floor of that building is a general purpose treatment center for people with fixations for Menards train stuff, certain beverages, specific road names etc. I'm sure I don't have to tell you who runs it! We're so proud of our Dad! LOL

Wrong.....top floor......

I think your going to need a second power plant! LOL

After looking into replacing the dark glass in the ceiling of Starbucks I called it off. This building is so well made, there is no way of tearing it apart without destroying it. Its basically sealed all the way around. WELL DONE  Menards !!!

CB, how about cutting it out, leaving a lip, say 3/16 or 1/4 so that you could lay clear plexi right on the lip.  I hope I'm conveying my idea clearly enough.

Amazing what can be done with a router .. sharp bits.. and tons of courage. I have wrecked stuff trying to make it better. It's what you call a "real" education. Better yet.. DO nothing and take in the scenery. CB. I appears your light bill is going up shortly. Your very fine village is truly LIT-Up. Kind wishes.
