The home-improvement chain recently withdrew plans to build a new store on the Lake Saint Louis-O'Fallon border citing President Barack Obama's policies.

The Suburban Journals reported Monday that a Menard's spokesman has blamed President Obama and his administration for Menard's decision to pull the plug on plans to build a new store on Hwy. N south of I-64. Meanwhile the St. Peters store remains on pace to open next year.  The development would have straddled the O'Fallon-Lake Saint Louis border, with the Menard's store itself in O'Fallon, but part of the parking lot and outlot businesses in Lake Saint Louis.

Ameristar, Local Businesses Ready for Blanchette Bridge Construction
