[edit] Midwest Manufacturing

I notice there's no mention of Midwest Manufacturing, which is essentially a manufacturing division of Menard's (making roof and floor trusses, nails, screws, treated lumber, prehung doors, etc); I think it's definitely something worth including in this article or an article of its own Jowe27 03:59, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] copyvio concern

at least parts of this article are said to be a result of references to the Menards Team Member Handbook. This is likely a copyrighted publication. If anyone has access to the document, please make sure it's not being plagiarized here. Thanks. Tom e r ^talk 05:56, 26 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Handbook

I have a copy of the handbook, any specific parts in here that you'd like me to look up? Andrew

Just make sure the text, especially of the "Company History" section isn't lifted from the handbook. Thanks for your effort. Cheers, Tom e r ^talk 10:09, 21 February 2006 (UTC)

I've checked my copy of "Growth With Menards - A Team Member Information Booklet" (printed 06/2004). The afore mentioned booklet is not copyrighted, but does include the following disclaimers:

"This brochure is a unilateral statement by MENARD, Inc. of company policies and procedures and is not intended to create and express or implied contractual obligations. The contents are designed and should be used solely for informational purposes."

"...This MENARDS Team Member Information Booklet and the policies and procedures contained herein supercede any and all prior Team Member information booklets or brochures and the policies and procedures contained therein."

"...The company will not, and Team Members should not, interpret any verbal or written statements, including those in this booklet, or other policies, practicies or procedures as altering "at will" status or providing expressed or implied contractual obligation."

I would hence conclude the the information within, in regards to documents published under such disclaimers by Menard, Inc., are not copyrighted material as of 06/2004.
