REAL ESTATE | First look at plans for proposed Menards expansion in West Bend, WI

April 2, 2022 – West Bend, Wi – It was February 2001 when the Mega Menards of West Bend, WI first opened at 575 W. Paradise Drive.  The 171,000-square-foot facility featured eight departments, a lumber yard and the Packers Jerry Kramer was featured as a guest at the store opening.

Now, 21 years later, the store is reportedly small by today’s standards. On Wednesday, April 6, 2022 the Plan Commission will address a proposal for a 12,500-square-foot expansion. The conundrum is the site is pretty landlocked.

Menards plans

The expansion of Menards would be to the west of the current building as there’s a request to combine two lots and then shift the park and ride over to the northwest of 2180 S. Main Street, which is the address for Meijer.
