Looks like an electrifying teaser.. I'm sure we will get a jolt out of it. More power to Menards !!
Its a Brewery!
AHA ......The Lightning Bolt Brewery....Paul
Mark, I have been told about a International train show at Menards in Eau Claire the coming July. Any truth to that?
communications tower.
What, me worry?
I'm amped up for this one to be sure! LOL
A substation for the electric company, high power electric towers
OR
Menards developed a way we can change the weather on our layouts, to have lightning, thunder and rain on them. Severe thunderstorms, tornadoes?
Maybe not!
Gator Aide?
Thank you,

Mark;
I am shocked... shocked... to learn that you are teasing Forum members again (with apologies to Captain Louis Renault)
I'm guessing a radio/tv station w/transmitting tower. BTW I'm scratch building my own brewery.
Whatever it may be it is going to be better then the shell station. On a humorous side note I took a ride to Menards this afternoon to take advantage of their 15% off if it fits in the bag, I had to buy a bag. But as my luck goes I got everything on my list except they only had one bottle of white glue left. At the top of my list was a two step step ladder. Well being a person who will try something I placed the ladder in the bag and it fit but it hung out the top a bit. Cashier tried to scan it but it didn't work so I had to pay regular price but that was alright because I needed it so I could reach and start working on the larger tables and the price was right at the regular price. So I learned there is a height restriction with the bag LOL.........A couple of pics.................Paul
Could it be a Gatoraide tank car?
It might be a Crystal Flash gas station?
It's a lighting rod
It seems to be an idea GENERATOR.
That electric locomotive?

Another Wisconsin based corporation, at least for now.

It's a prison, with an electric chair!
An electric transformer substation.

For sure this would be an easy build for Menards. My layout is too small for a power plant, but a small substation would find a home quite easily.
On the opportunity side, Menards should offer different sized electrical substations. A variety of footprints would open out its acceptability in more locations on most every layout.
That's a dead giveaway... it's a section of the electrified fence protecting the brewery at Area 51
High security fence around an electrical substation.......Paul
Gotta be a brewery.....if it is post count will go down 20%!!!

That would be my bet. I could really use one if it's done right.
Mesh stockings, a lingerie factory? Ok, final answer! LOL
Mark
I sure hope you make these poor guys a brewery someday.

It's a power sub-station to play a game of "Don't wiz on the electric fence"on.
Well the fence rules out Gatorade!

SHAZAM!
Please don't tease us with this chain linked fence. We all know the new product is going to be electrifying !! Now.... to convince the mayor of Menardsville to ok it...i may need to get him out of the brewery before he changes his mind.....LOL
Forty rod beat me to it. I second SHAZAM!

Captain Marvel cries Shazam and I don't recall anything but a yellow bolt.
The Flash wore yellow with a red bolt for a while, but red with a yellow bolt is the norm.
It more likely an electric fence to keep you guys from raiding the brewery
A kennel, coin mint, or armory would make sense.
A military armory makes the most sense from Menard's 
Mark,
if you guys ever do make a brewery, please make it large, brick, & 19th century architecture.
Crystal Flash Propane station, includes propane truck......
