Menards planning to build store in Bowling Green

Menards is planning a store in Bowling Green, though no specific details are available.

Sue Clark, director of Bowling Green Community Development Foundation, said this morning that Menards has been scouting out possible locations in the city.

“They have been looking at the community for eight months or so,” Clark said.

Initially, the company was looking at a site on East Wooster Street near the Holiday Inn Express, she said. More recently, the firm has been looking at a location on South Main Street – south of WalMart and across the street from Home Depot.

Though the company has been in contact with the city’s planning office, no applications have been filed yet with the city, according to city planning director Heather Sayler.

“We plan to build a new store in Bowling Green, OH at some point in the near future,” Jeff Abbott, Menards spokesperson stated in an email.  “We are still in the planning phase and have not yet finalized when we might start construction.”
