About Me

John Menard's home improvement retailer Menards brings in an estimated $13 billion in sales from more than 340 stores. His stores, which compete with Home Depot and Lowe's, are concentrated in the middle of the U.S., from Wyoming to West Virginia. Menard first started a construction business in 1958, 20 years before Home Depot launched. Menard has developed a reputation for keeping a tight grip on his business, requiring even top executives to punch a time clock every morning. Menard sponsored the winning car at the 2019 Indy 500, his first win in nearly 40 years of involvement in racing.
