The new Richfield Menards superstore opened its doors to the public bright and early Tuesday morning.
The new two-story home improvement store replaced the former one-story store, as well as the former Jun Bo Chinese Restaurant. The property is roughly 10 acres in size.
When the opening day was announced late last week, Patch readers expressed their excitement on the site:
