Wisconsin-based Menards is building the $9 million, 160,000-square-foot store on 18 acres on the southeast corner of Ohio 741 and Lyons Road just south of the Dayton Mall. Abbott called the new Menards a “huge, super-sized store” that will have a full-service lumber yard and large garden center.
Applicants also can apply online anytime at www.menards.com, the company spokesman said.
In July 2011, Miami Twp. trustees unanimously approved a development agreement agreeing to contribute up to $1.5 million in tax-increment financing to the Menards project. Officials project $2 million in annual income tax revenues.
The family-owned company, founded in 1960, operates 268 stores in 14 states. In Ohio, there are already Menards stores in Fairfield Twp., Butler County; Tipp City in Miami County; as well as Sidney, Celina and Lima.
