Store Selection for Local Pricing
Menards® starts with a practical location step: shoppers can search by ZIP code or city and state, or use the device location to choose a store. Selecting a store helps the app tailor prices, availability, and delivery information to the place where a project will happen. This is useful before comparing materials, planning pickup, or deciding whether a product is worth a trip.
The opening account screen also explains the value of signing in for order history, My Lists, and product recommendations, while the store-selection route keeps local shopping details in view. People who move between home, a job site, and a nearby store can change their selected location as plans change, keeping the app focused on the right inventory context.
Shopping, Scanning, and Project Lists
Once a store is selected, Menards® works as a mobile catalog for home-improvement shopping. Users can browse departments, open product details, scan a barcode for quick information, and use Buying Guides when a project calls for unfamiliar materials. Weekly ads and Ray’s List add ways to spot specials, clearance items, display models, and other bargain-focused offers.
My Lists turn research into a plan that can travel to the store. Shoppers can keep project, wish, and shopping lists together, edit them as quantities change, and return to saved items instead of rebuilding a cart from memory. This workflow suits a repair run, renovation checklist, or weekend project where product discovery and organization need to happen side by side.
Orders, Accounts, and Store Planning
Menards® combines shopping with account and trip-management tools for customers who return to the same projects. An account can connect order history, product recommendations, My Lists, and other personalized features, while the app keeps gift card balances and Menards® BIG Card actions within the Credit Center. Order Tracker adds a quick view of shipping progress for store and online orders.
Store Details helps users plan the practical side of a visit, including where to go after an online search. Push notifications can surface order statuses, weekly flyers, flash sales, and in-store or online events. Together, these controls make the app useful beyond checkout: shoppers can review a past purchase, follow a delivery, or prepare the next trip from one account.
Guides, Calculators, and How-To Help
For do-it-yourself work, Menards® extends beyond product search with tools that help estimate, compare, and learn. Product Calculators can help gauge the amount of selected materials needed for a job, while Buying Guides explain choices in plain language. How-To Videos offer step-by-step project ideas, and augmented-reality tools can help shoppers visualize selected products in a home before buying.
These features fit different stages of a task: a homeowner can learn the basics, estimate quantities, compare a finish or fixture, and then save the next purchase in a list. Gift Registry and Design & Buy add more specialized planning for celebrations or custom home projects, making the app useful for both quick repairs and longer renovations.
