Menards eyes Wichita
An article in the Wichita Business Journal reported that Menards has purchased property for a store in Wichita, Kan., and plans to begin construction in late spring or early summer, with a projected opening in 2011.
The Eau Claire, Wis.-based home improvement retailer is also planning a second store for the other side of town, a company representative told the newspaper. Each unit will have 160,000 sq. ft. of interior selling space, with a total of 240,000 sq. ft., counting the stores’ garden centers, lumberyards and other attachments.
