Its a chicken coop...
It's a fan store. This is the window display.
Either a chicken coop... or the prop to Amelia Earhardt's missing plane framed and behind a metal fence for safety???
Breweries do tend to let off a lot of carbon dioxide that needs to be vented... so maybe, just maybe.
A minimum security men's prison.
A hot dog stand.
Mark sure has a lot of FANS now.....
I hope is another industry. More heritage than the modern feed and seed that the fan was first spotted.
Willie Wonka's Fizzy Lifting Drink Factory
This one's a breeze, a jail for bad starfish! LOL
An exhaust fan for a Brewery or a Taco Stand......

Johnny on the Spot with vent fan

If it comes with 'Cool hand Luke' I'm in!!!!
It's a fan factory is my bet!
The last time I remember the fan in the wall was the Chippewa Valley farm supply. So maybe it is the same building but with a different name on it in a different color or the back wall of a fast food place...............Paul
Well i sure hope that back wall has a door!!!!!!!
Come on guys it a sweat shop!
Airplane Hanger?
Looks like a Midwest fertilizer Supply building to me.... final guess...
Maybe it's a 24 hour diner. Featuring comfort food.
Introducing the Vetter Sash & Door Company!
Overall Dimensions: 20"W x 11-3/8"D x 12"H
Prebuilt, prelit and ready to go! The Vetter Sash & Door Factory is another large building with a minimal footprint! This imposing structure stands nearly 12" high and 20" wide, but because it was designed to sit over existing train tracks, the basic footprint is only 20"W x 6-1/4"D! Perhaps even more impressive than the factory's size is its realistic looking appearance. No detail has been overlooked from its authentically weathered exterior to its corrugated "steel" roof complete with sawdust.
Along with a backlit Vetter Sash & Door Company sign, you will also notice an astounding number of windows (25 in total). Two of these windows feature animated exhaust fans that rotate when the building is powered on. Additional accessories include three O scale workers, a pallet of windows, a pallet of doors, a dumpster and Jack the German Shepherd.
Don't forget our FREE Santa Fe Box Truck (279-2669) offer ends March 17, 2018!

What.....no Eddie?????
WOW Dad, You must have done some logging and land clearing! I sure hope the grass matches! LOL
Wow! This one is cool!
I like it. Brick style walls would also look great (garment factory?) if there's ever a 2nd generation to be made later.
8 hour follow-up: Ordered w/ a couple other small items - Shipping cost was slightly high (but fair considering dimensional weight that UPS/FedEx/USPS now charge. Still not liking Menard's added order processing fee.
Amazing, gotta have it! Can't wait for Dad's pictures and review! Only thing I would add is a little figure of Dad leaning out a window! LOL
This is great a must have here. Im in holy wow batman!
the only thing that caught my eye saw part in the drive thru area, it looks like for loading grain or something. Love the building but that caught my eye

Its for hauling saw dust away!
NICE! Another winner business from Menards! I'm getting this one for sure! I see this structure as a great switching layout acessory!
I hope Menards gets us appropriate time trucks for this co, like a 1950 Mack box truck or a 1960s steakbed lumber truck!

It's residual saw dust! Now Menards needs a paper factory for all that sawdust from the cabinet company and this company!
I thought it might of been a beer dispenser 
One of the few local industry's in my area makes saunas from local wood. They create a HUGE amount of saw dust and shavings......so I knew what it was right off. In the 1930's they'd burn it.....not done much any longer. Great building BTW!!!!
OMG finally a structure that fits my era. This one is a MUST BUY for me. It's a perfect fit for my industrial area and fits right in with the sauerkraut factory and seed & feed structure.. I really hope Menards keeps offering structures like these.

Awesome! The one thing I like about this building is the loading of the sawdust could be a train or a 18 wheeler. Hmmm, maybe both.
Doug
I am going to have to order one of these for sure! Another winner Mark & Menards!

Mark,
I like this! Thanks to You and Menards for designing buildings to occupy a small footprint on a space challenged layout!!!
