Menards

This Menards location has everything you need for house and home, even food. It’s only been open for a few years so it’s still clean and organized. Large garden section in season and Black Friday madness well organized. Staff is friendly with some longtime employees very knowledgeable in their areas.
Parking lot can be a little cramped and difficult to navigate, especially if you have a trailer. Location close to the highway interchange is a plus.
This Menard’s will provide an excellent experience.

Oh, Menards, why must you suck so bad when Home Depot is so far away in Cedar Rapids? Why must you be the kind of store that I simply can’t stand to shop in? Why must your salespeople be so devoid of any idea of what constitutes good customer service?
I have kept trying to embrace this store, but they constantly poop on me. How can you possibly support a store like that?
This last time, I needed to buy 18 bags of pea gravel. Since I drive a little Fiat, I knew that I would only be able to buy 6 bags at a time.
So I walked into the store, grab a flat cart and head back to the lawn and garden section. I ask a Menards guy where the pea gravel is because I need 6 bags. Now, keep in mind that each bag is 50 lbs. The dude just points to the section where the pea gravel is and dips. Yes, I said dips. No offer to help load them on the flat cart, no offer to help take them to the front… nothing…just point and scoot.
I load them all on the cart and start laboriously pulling the cart to the front. Slow going. In no time, I’m sweating like a hog in heat, but damned if not a single one of the Menards employees who SEE me dragging this heavy cart even offer to help. WTF!
Sadly, I had to return for another load, and damned if it wasn’t a repeat of the first. I didn’t bother to return for the final set of 6 bags. I decided to make the trip to Cedar Rapids. No more Menards for me. I deserve better. We all do!

Lovely place to grab a whatever assortment of whatever you need! I love that I can grab a 2×4, gardening supplies, some dish soap and a case of diet mountain dew if my heart so desires.
Very friendly folks that seem to enjoy helping you out and throughout the year they have plenty of 11% back specials or x% off whatever you can fit in a Menard bag. Everything comes back on a gift card, but you can usually find something to spend it on!

Good selection of merchandise but you need a hunting license to find assistance.

Do yourself a favor and drive the few extra miles to Lowes. This store sold me flooring that was being discontinued and said nothing about it. Finding anyone to help can take more time than anything. They also charge more for lower quality products. Just walk in and bask in the loads of crap to fix any double wide. In a pinch they will do, but I mostly stay away.

Good selection here on many items. You should be able to find what you are looking for here. Great to see a store with such a diverse selection of goods.
Check it out and see what you think.

I’ve wasted countless trips here only to find that they don’t have what I need, or have run out. It makes it especially irritating when it is something very basic like standard ¼″ bolts. Customer service, if you can get it, is completely useless; I have yet to run into a single Menards employee who has half a clue.

They’re open early and have great service I like the new Menards. The location off 218 is convenient as well

I like the products the only downside is the employees tend to ignore you if you are female.

Great prices, nice staff. Very easy on returns. overall its a nice place to shop
