Remember that Menards is Canadian. In Canada the loser in a
litigation usually pays the winner's costs, there is a very low cap on
"pain and suffering", punitive damages are only awarded if malice can
be demonstrated, and per capita Canada has about 1/4 as many lawsuits
as the US, so the risk is much lower.


Unless Wisconsin seceded from the Union overnight, I believe you will
find that Eau Claire, Wisconsin USA is the company's base.
