Aberdeen has a new store to purchase tools and equipment for the job site or those do-it-yourself projects around the house. Harbor Freight Tools had its grand opening at the beginning of February. The new tool store is occupying 15,000 square feet of the vacant Herberger’s store in the Aberdeen Mall.

“We’re excited to serve customers in the great city of Aberdeen,” store manager Austin Hundt said.

Northern Electric Cooperative provides electric service to all the businesses in the Aberdeen Mall, including the new Harbor Freight store.

The new store will stock tools for automotive repairs, air and power tools, storage, outdoor power equipment, generators, welding supplies, shop equipment, and hand tools.

“At Harbor Freight, we’re passionate about providing our customers with the tools they need to get the job done, and always at an affordable price,” Hundt said.

Harbor Freight is a family-owned company which is headquartered in Calabasas, California. The first Harbor Freight store opened in 1980 and the company currently has more than 1,000 stores and 20,000 employees across the country.

“We look forward to welcoming auto technicians, contractors, woodworkers, homeowners, hobbyists – anyone who needs affordable tools,” Hundt said.

The Aberdeen location will be open from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Saturday, and from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Sundays.
