DickL, Thanks for looking and finding Menards Inc employes more than just the people in their stores.
It too bad my post turned into a fit storm Rant on the items sold that are not made in US instead of focusing on what is.
So thanks again, you are one of the few who did a little digging into Menards Inc.
I've know a person who for the past 17 years has worked at Menards. I talked to her today and asked how many other business like the block and truss factory does John have his fingers in. She started rattling off many things sold at the store he is connected with. She also told me that every year the employees get a free plane ride to Wisconsin for a 2 day seminar, courtesy of John M. She said he spends $2M a year on seminars, has his won plane. Even though he is officially retired, he still micromanages the business. His brother conducts part of the seminar telling how the business began in his father's barn, making pole barns and selling lumber and nails.
Putting all the petty rants aside. I think John Menard is like Sam Walton, self-made, highly motivated and personally involved in business.
Please no more ranting, do a little research and find what pockets John M has his hands in. thank you geo.

Minus two kids, we traveled light with only the youngest in tow. As long as a pool was at the end of our destination she was easy to please unlike the other two who have a multitude of requirements to travel with mom and dad. Amana Colonies served as a respite where we ate a family style lunch that sustained us with more food than could reasonably fit into our ample physiques. The show at Ankeny
