SHOPPER'S SHITTY!!!!!!!!!!!!

you want a real menards? come to the one on university in st. paul.  we have guy playing a grand piano and crazy track systems to get you to the second floor.  and be sure to watch the instructional video when moving up said track.

it's pure magic is what it is.

whaddya mean the new Menards in Hermantown?  there's a New one??? help! there was already a Menards on 53.  somebody please explain.  or better yet, tell me this is a joke.
been a while since i've been 'Over the Hill' as they say down here in the 'Lower Hillside'

It is always the same big monkeys at Menards.

Menards has pre-existing building structures that are built to be complimentary to the building site.  As Menards has grown in size the layouts of their stores have as well.  Each store has a prototype #.

The store in Superior is a P3 store.  Most stores built around the same time will be a P3 or possibly a P3-C (which means that the floor plan is reversed). 

The Hermantown store and the West Duluth are both P-5 stores. (Which as far as I know, is currently their largest floor plan.)  The Hermantown store used to be a P1C (which was one of the smallest besides small market stores like I-Falls) - which included an adddition of their mezzanine area. 

The inside layout of the stores are the same because all P-5 stores share the same plan-o-grams for their product merchandising.  All this is a directive from their General Office in Eau Claire.

The St. Paul store was a beta store to test more urban markets which is why it has all the cool features like glass railings, grand pianos, a two story layout (to fit the small available foot print) and a cart escalator.

Does that clear things up?

I'm embarrassed to even know that much information on the subject.  Consider it the longest 2 1/2 years of my life.

shopper city was such a lifetime ago....I remember being in there with my grandma when I was probably too young to even be remembering! Living in  Duluth WAS a lifetime ago for me
