I am excited. They have them in Indiana where I'm from. Live on the Richmond Heights/Maplewood border and quite frankly I hate shopping at the WalMart. The K Mart doesn't have what I want most of the time, and I cannot stand the traffic in the Target area. I think Menards will be a nice add. Prices will be in line with Walmart and the quality and choices in line with Target. To me... nothing like…   more ›

Costco and Menards Proposals Heard by Council

Richmond Heights City Council members had questions about trash, noise pollution and traffic.

*Editor's note: An earlier version of this article incorrectly identified the councilman who spoke about compensation for residents of the 19 or 20 houses in the southern portion of Hadley Township. District 2 Councilman Jim Thomson made the remarks. This article has been updated to reflect the correct information. The Richmond Heights City Council heard Hadley Township development proposals from Costco and Menards representatives at a special meeting Wednesday night. Ted Johnson of T.J. Design Strategies and Mike Stratis of Intrepid Strategies are consultants for Costco and delivered a presentation on behalf of the company. Scott Nuttelman, a real estate representative for Menards, spoke on behalf of Menards. Both businesses are competing…

$29 million in public incentives. So goes capitalism. Why can't the region work together on developments? We've seen this so often in Mid-county -the battle of the tax base amongst municipalities -and thus they are easily charmed by a developer to give over a neighborhood. Older neighborhoods within the big box corporate specs of being X miles from major highway gets put into play. Then the …   more ›

Hadley Traffic: Retail Developers Give Ideas for Hanley, Dale, Elinor

Costco, Menards and Pace Properties have proposed a number of plans for accommodating traffic along the busy Hanley Road corridor if their developments are approved in Richmond Heights.

Road expansions, lane additions and connector routes all are part of proposals by three companies to accommodate traffic if their Hadley Township retail projects win approval. The Richmond Heights neighborhood has long been a target of developers because of its proximity to major highways—Hanley Road, Highway 40 and Interstate 170. Last week, a Clayton-Richmond Heights Patch reader asked on Facebook how developers are proposing to facilitate traffic on Hanley Road, which already hosts a high volume of vehicles. The following excerpts from proposals by Costco, Menards and Pace Properties highlight some of the road changes they have suggested. Questions about this report may be directed to nate.birt@patch.com. More about Hadley Township …

Hadley Reaction: From 'Menards. 100%' to 'This is Absurd'

Costco and Menards have proposed building a store in the Hadley Township neighborhood of Richmond Heights.

  • Wednesday, February 29, 2012

News that Costco and Menards are interested in developing a section of Richmond Heights' Hadley Township neighborhood has prompted some strong reactions in online commentary. On Patch, Brian C. wrote: "This is absurd. Regarding Costco, there's both a Wal-Mart and a Sam's Club literally one block south of here. For Menards, there's a Home Depot across the street and a Lowe's just south of it!" (Also on Patch: Q&A: Pace Proposes $125 Million Retail Space in Hadley) On Facebook, Clayton-Richmond Heights Patch asked readers to weigh in on which business they would prefer to see in the space just north of Maplewood Commons. "Menards. 100%," Frank Palubiak said. Alexandra Welsko agreed. "Menards, although I doubt Home Depot and Lowes will make …

Q&A: Costco and Menards Target Hadley Area South of Elinor

The two chains are seeking to develop the same space in Richmond Heights' Hadley Township neighborhood.

  • Tuesday, February 28, 2012

Two chains—hardware company Menards and wholesaler Costco—are seeking to develop the same space within Richmond Heights' Hadley Township neighborhood. Proposal documents submitted to the city in late February outline the companies' visions for the area, including projected costs and job creation. The area in question is south of Elinor Avenue and north of West Bruno Avenue. The city shrank the Hadley Township Redevelopment Area last year in an effort to attract developers to the area that includes a number of residential houses and several piece of city-owned property. Several developers who previously proposed homeowner buyouts and subsequent projects failed to follow through. (Subscribe to the Clayton-Richmond Heights Patch newsletter …

I'm underwhelmed by either plan but the 2 story Menards is definitely the better of the two for our city. Costco's super-suburban strip mall dated styling in this proposal clashes with the character of Richmond Heights and is exactly what we should be getting away from. At least Menards incorporates some street facing restaurants and small retail into the plan.   more ›
