IL-AG v. Menards

Menards allegedly deceptively marketed its merchandise credit check program by falsely implying a point-of purchase discount, when Menards actually only offered an in-store merchandise credit for future purchases. According to the attorneys general, Menards failed to appropriately disclose the details of the rebate program, which were detailed in small print. The attorneys general also allege that Menards engaged in price gouging during the COVID-19 pandemic by raising prices on a few important items in early 2020.
