Menards

We stopped in for my mom to grab a few supplies for a minor bathroom repair. She needed a few things that we weren't really sure where they were located and needed to ask for help. I will say the few staff we asked for help did generally help by pointing in the direction the item would be in but I felt like none of them were so busy that they couldn't walk us to the area (as they couldn't tell use an exact aisle). We did eventually find everything we were looking for. I generally just like browsing around. I found some bublr flavors I haven't seen other places. It sounded like someone was playing the piano upstairs but maybe it was just a radio, the escalator to go up was out of service so the elevator was a bit busy and not worth exploring upstairs. Overall not too many complaints!

Every time I go to this Menards, I have a great experience. They have the cutest walk through display that changes with every holiday. The staff is knowledgeable and always helps me find the items I need. The store is huge, so any help with locating things is greatly appreciated. We went specifically for the live Edgewood, and although the selection wasn't the best, there was 1 in the very back that worked for what we needed. It's nice that they have Edgewood at an affordable price. The customer service at the return desk is always quick and easy; Nas was great!

Sheesh it's been over 11 years since I last updated this review. You know, everything in my previous review holds true. There are also employees here that have been here for many moons, and also some new people. They had supply chains issues post pandemic like many but they've expanded their outside yard and are able to offer more and better quality wood. The hours are early morning till late at night and honestly, they have saved my ass multiple times with projects. I'm glad they are in the neighborhood.

Not as helpful as it has been in the past. The selection of plants was sparse. I don't know if it was spring prep. but otherwise it's the same as all other locations. I think the price is good for what you get.

I was in the neighborhood anyway and had menards rebate checks to spend. I found mint dog bones for my new dog. Bought some candy that I didn't need. Looked around Christmas and saw some cool Grinch ornaments, a musical Grinch doll with saxophone and other inflatables. The store was not busy at all. The cashier was nice. I spent enough so will have another $4 rebate coming. Wish a person could just upload receipts somehow instead of wasting a postage stamp. Get with technology Menards.

Menards Big Card is outright theft of your hard earned money. 30.24 percent interest rate. I have never encountered this problem before and it was completely a shock to my whole body. I have had great credit ratings so it wasn't caused by anything like that. In a hurry now to transfer the balance to a less crooked operation.

SHAME ON YOU!! As a senior who lives in the neighborhood, I walk to Menards frequently. Yesterday, I was nearly hit by a car because some genius installed a high fence over sidewalk leading from University Ave to the parking lot and did not provide an alternative pedestrian walkway leaving one to WALK in the entrance as the vehicles. Dangerous & possibly deadly. ESPECIALLY once there are snow banks. Great plan Menards. Thank you for thinking of your all your customers.

MasterCraft doorI special ordered a fire door and then tried to install it in a lower garage that had a concrete block opening. My husband and I had much difficulty in getting it to fit, so we removed the brick molding. We have installed a dozen doors in our lifetime, so are familiar with the process. After the trim was removed, the door went in smoothly. Upon closer review, the brick molding did not have 90-degree angles in the corners, thereby skewing the squareness of the door. This explained why it was impossible to plumb the door into the opening, since the unit was not square with the brick molding attached. A week after it was installed, the plastic sill plate cracked. Menards does not warranty the workmanship of their product, but only offered to send out parts to replace the defective parts. This simple project involved many more hours of work to fix their poor workmanship. The Jeld-Wen warranty offers compensation for any labor required to remedy their workmanship. I did not buy a kit to build a door, but rather a door unit. So, if you want a door that has quality workmanship, do NOT buy a Mastercraft door, which is a subsidiary of Menards.

I bought some plumbing items to fix a broken seal on a toilet. Wasn't exactly sure what I would need so I bought enough to cover the bases. I used my Menards rebates to cover the cost, and since that was not enough I paid the rest with a debit card. When I took my items back that I did not need, I was told that I had to get the value from the items in the form of in store credit. I was quite upset by this. I have spent thousands of dollars in Menards over the years. Their system of marking up prices 15% to give me a 11% rebate is bad enough (and in order to get that I have to take the time to fill out a form and spend an additional 73 cents on a stamp and walk it to a mailbox), Basically they have made certain that if you spend any money in the store, they will keep every penny. They are not unique. If I go to Kohls they will mark the price to a price that no one has ever paid in the history of the product and amazingly give you a huge discount. Everything is on sale, trying to give you the false impression that you are saving some huge amount of money.I for one am tired of the lies and deceipt. I will not ever shop at a Menards store again. I would rather go to Ace hardware and spend a little more knowing that if what I bought does not work out, they will return my money

I've been shopping at the Oakdale Menards for 25 years. The selection, prices, and service are better than the Fleet Farm, Lowes, and Home Depot stores in my area.
