So I just got back from a Menards run and I've noticed something fascinating:

Menards has always had a lot of store brands. But they're really pushing a new food brand called Marcella. Stuff like coffee, jams and jellies, prepared foods, sodas, etc. A lot of it is fairly unique - I bought a maraschino cherry cola on a whim and it was pretty great!

The weird part? They're pricing this in-house stuff higher than name brands. The soda was a tad more expensive than the Sprecher's next to it!

@TechConnectify I thought Menards was a hardware store (Canadian, never been there)

For American chains I'm used to Lowe's and Home Depot which are pretty similar. Is Menards more like Canadian Tire which is technically a hardware store but sells a bit of everything?

@TechConnectify @BalooUriza that does sound an awful lot like Canadian Tire then.

Pretty much the only thing they don't sell is construction supplies (lumber etc)
