• Menards' Iconic '11% Rebate' Program Reined In By Keith Ellison And Other Midwest Attorneys General (patch.com) — Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison, based in St. Paul, led a multistate settlement forcing Menards to revamp its well-known 11 percent rebate program and pay millions to participating states. Filed in Ramsey County District Court, the agreement bans Menards from advertising store-credit rebates as instant discounts and tightens rules around disclosures, rebate processing, and future price gouging during economic emergencies.
