NEAT - info about SPPS budget: http://tinyurl.com/3gt66 _________________________________________ My question is why did Menards get it and not Home Depot. From what I have heard from folks I know that work at home depot, they pay their employees much better and offer benefits that are much better. So, when you talk BIG BOX there are differences among them. I would rather see a Home Depot than a Menards in either location, because I think Home Depot is much more customer friendly, or at least that has been my experience.
