EAU CLAIRE, Wis. (WRN) — The Wisconsin Department of Justice has settled a multi-state lawsuit against Menards.
Attorney General Josh Kaul says part of the suit revolves around the store’s popular “11% rebate” program.
“There was a review of different aspects of the company’s practices that includes things like the company’s use of 11% off or 11% off everything in its advertising. One of the things that we focused on was whether there was a representation that those kinds of discounts were point of sale discounts as opposed to rebates,” Kaul said.
Wisconsin is set to receive $750,000 in the settlement. 10 states in total were a part of the suit.
