maybe Menards will someday bring a supply of products to the show. I would be glad to welcome them. Pretty sure they could move a lot of product at list prices.

Just my opinion but, I really don't think they would bother with the added expense of sending representative, plus the cost of a selling table, on a gamble. Obviously Menards is doing just fine with their sales throughout their stores, nation wide.
Most of the things I got from Menard's for my layout, I bought after Christmas when they were on sale. I got the Comet bike shop and Elmer's Country Grocery Store at Menard's after Christmas for a really good price. I don't think they will ever come to a train show.

I've seen Menard's rolling stock there for over half a year priced higher than retail.

Yep, Menards rolling stock and buildings are starting to show up on the auction sites.

I suspect that Menard's O gauge offerings are a loss leader. There would be no upside to selling these items outside their retail network.
