Menards is all over the US, even as far as Tennessee although none in my
immediate area. Being a Canadian company wouldn't help them a bit if they
were sued in the US but I'm sure that their legal staff and insurance
companies have vetted their practices. This will probably hold until some
litigious oaf takes them to court demanding $100M because they got an
owie using a self-service saw to trim their toenails.


And at least as far as W KS.
If there's one in the store in Garden City, I've not found it.Â* Nor have I
seen one in any of the half-dozen or so others have been in on occasion
(albeit in some of those visits wouldn't have been where it would have been
anyway).

There's not one in TN according to current store locator on the web site.

But they aren't Canadian company; it is privately held headquartered in Eau
Claire, WI.

My first guess would be corporate doesn't know about this one in this
particular store.

Weird. I swear that I checked their store locator before I posted and saw
three different locations in TN. No explanation. Oh, and I didn't know that
they weren't Canadian; it seems that every time I read a post or message
about somebody going to Menards or something on sale there they were always
in the north so the idea got fixed in my alleged mind.
