The subject says it all. I was at the St. Peters store today and the shelves were being stocked with lots of the Menards buildings. Most were lit so you can appreciate all the lighting effects. The Pepsi building with the Miller sign really looks neat! As does the Morton Salt building.
Check 'em out. You snooze you lose!

Same here in Naperville, Illinois. Looking like Christmas already 
I was enjoying the display at Warren, Ohio yesterday. I wonder if the plumbing weirdos get as excited as we do when the latest fittings hit the shelf?
hahahahaha
Darn you, MENARD's!
Come EAST, come EAST!

Never underestimate the power and majesty of a 90 degree PVC fitting...

Well! I guess my wife and I are off to the Bridgetown Menards real soon.
The shelves seem to be glowing and blinking at Menards!
Darn you, MENARD's!
Come EAST, come EAST!
East first- Long Island to be specific! need to give HD and Lowes some competition.
I too have wandered the plumbing isle in amazement.....
Indiana, PA. needs a Menard's I would love to walk into a Menard's store and check out all the train related items. Reading about them, here on the Forum is not the same as holding them in your hands. Maybe, someday Menard's will keep a small area in their stores stocked with trains year around. Their freight cars, buildings, accessories and track would be enough for me to make a lot of trips. With them bringing out something new every week I would be there. I never met a train person who wasn't interested in looking at new products.
That's neat to have train stuff in stores...we have Boscov's here in PA but there's just limited sets and a few trees...it'd be neat to have a local Menards...and there's a LOT of train people in PA!
Ditto the Menards 1 mile down the road from us here in Meeeeeshigan. I'm hoping they'll shelf-offer those dandy 1:48 panel trucks sometime during this seasonal shift of merchandise.
Hey, for all the bene's you fringe coastal guys/gals get , we muggles here in 'middle earth USA' deserve some advantage now and then.......dontcha think???
Rsjb18... What room on Long Guyland do you have to build any Menards? And the taxes to boot?
AND WEST !! We could darn well use a Menards in OKC.. and in Tulsa for the Forum guys over there. The lack of O Gauge LHS in the OKC area is not good. There is only one I know of, The Whistle Stop on Britton Road. And, it would also help to establish a local O Gauge train club. When we started the North Central O Gaugers in Antioch, Illinois, back in 2001, it was through the local hobby shop there, in Antioch. There are few better ways of meeting great people and making friends... and running trains on modular layout you build as you need and like. Yes, we need Menards in Oklahoma, and soon.....er......

I am fortunate that Menards is on the back side of my subdivision, my store (Yorkville IL) also has one whole isle dedicated to trains right now. I don't do O Gauge, and I have recently switched to HO so the HO buildings have been finding their way into my house. My son has the O Gauge Thomas set (currently the only O Gauge we have) but he has just gotten his first piece of O Gauge rolling stock from Menards. It's an army vehicle on flat car. Looks right at home behind Thomas!

Menards in Wisconsin has trains out too! I have 4 menards stores all within 1/2 to 2 hours so here goes my extra $$. The store in plover had a lot of buildings but no boxcars or hoppers yet.
For those without a local Menard's stores try ordering online for drop ship

My brother called yesterday to let me know and picked up 3 for me at the Appleton East store. He'll bring them to Cocoa Beach in January and I'll pick them up when we visit in February.
