Menards organization seems crazy to me too but they must use some system of if they buy X and see Y nearby, they'll buy both.
Lowes used to have higher quality merchandise than Menards. Menards got better and Lowes got worse.
We don't have a Home Depot around here but the ones I've been to in other areas are head and shoulders above Lowes and Menards for service and to a lesser extent quality.
I have two relatives that work at Lowes in other states. One is a department manager and the other is a store manager. The one that's a department manager was recently here for a visit. He walked through the local Lowes store and couldn't believe how many things they were doing that didn't meet company policy, and worse yet how many employees went out of their way to not ask if he needed help.
I buy as much as possible from a couple of mom and pop stores. Basically all my ceramic, hardwood flooring, laminate, etc come from a very small regional chain that is easily the best supplier I've dealt with in 35+ years in construction. All my interior and exterior doors,garage doors, windows and 95% of my trim come from a locally owned store and all my cabinets, tops, and a lot of my plumbing fixtures come from a locally owned store. For the rest I much prefer Lowes over Menards. Menards sucks for getting loaded. Lowes is better about loading but their contractor loading area is usually congested.
