Menard then sent a letter to the Trump Organization canceling the contract with New Sunshine. Mrs. Trump has filed a $50 million claim for damages against Menard. Donald was apparently so miffed that he tweeted a column I wrote for Milwaukee Magazine on Menard.
Menard is also in a legal war with Lisa Trudeau, the wife of former Indianapolis Colts quarterback Jack Trudeau. Lisa had worked for Australian Gold, another company managed by Private Equity. Once Menard took it over, she was sued for $1.5 million for breach of contract and fiduciary duties.
Nohl found Menard and his company had more run-ins with state Department of Natural Resources than any other Wisconsin company. Menard and his company were ultimately fined $1.7 million for 21 violations. Menards was fined for disposing hazardous waste in 1994, charged by the Minnesota Attorney General in 2003 with manufacturing and selling arsenic-tainted mulch, fined $2 million in 2005 for having a floor drain that DNR officials believed was dumping chemicals into a tributary of the Chippewa River, and hit with an administrative order from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for damaging a stream that ran through its property in South Dakota.
John Menard-Sex Party Machine!!! I especially like the part about how when the woman kept rebuffing his advances for sex with Menard and his wife, he figured that maybe throwing in a free trip to Wisconsin might put him over the top with her! (probably a trip to Eau Claire nonetheless!) Maybe the WI tourism board can work this in somehow to new promotions!
I remember reading in the Journal Sentinel about the parking lot herbicide dumping incident. I also remember thinking that in terms of his behavior this must be the tip of the iceberg. This article puts the rest of the iceberg in view. Steer clear.
You can see the crazy inherent in Menards from the moment you walk through the door. With their separate entrance and exits, turn stye, returns counter, and checkout counters arranged in an extremely paranoid way. Add the security cameras and when you pick your head up and really look at the way the place is designed you can tell there is no trust in their customers. I feel like a refugee under occupation in there.
Billionaires trying to become wealthier on the backs of the Working Class. Even than their unhappy. Like that WITCH looking owner of ABC Supply. Scott the boy puppet Walker gains from these type of privileged ego maniacs.
If all these claims were true, john menard wouldnt have or have had the success he does. you dont turn into a groper overnight and every accusation is hand in hand directly with his buisnesses and buisness relationships. maybe im crazy if noone else can make that connection.. menards is the all around great store, every location is tip top shape and welly managed, i could imagine he is very strict with many rules. thats what it takes for that kind of success, now just imagine how many people blow things out of proportion to get their hands in his wallet. put yourselves in his shoes for a day and see how you do.
