Had a wander through Menard's Tuesday (we don't have them convenient in Detroit) and was intrigued to see their appliance selection (last time I was in one 10 years ago don't think they had appliances). They seemed to have Kitchenaid as their best line, with also a full selection of Whirlpool and a few Amana items. The interesting thing, though was they had a private label called Criterion which was all Chinese (Midea) except for a 7 cuft freezer which came from Turkey. They were touting their in-stock situation "take it home TODAY" which I'm confident was 80% these Chinese appliances.

The displays were essentially similar to Lowes/HD but just at a slightly lower-end price point; kitchen cabinets were less "vignette" based and more "lineup of panels" based. Not sure there was much kitchen design help offered.

Gave the distinct impression of being more a "low-end", cabin/cottage or rental property type department and assortment.
 
Jamie, that may be specific to the store location you were in. The Cincinnati area stores have nice kitchen displays, with good semi-custom cabinet lines available, such as Medallion, and Cardell. Findlay OH also had a nice kitchen department when I was there a couple years ago.
