“Harbor Freight Tools, America’s go-to store for quality tools at the lowest prices, will officially open its new store in Sweetwater, TX on Saturday, February 17 at 8 a.m. The Sweetwater store, located 608 E Broadway Street, will be open seven days a week from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Saturday, and from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Sunday.

The store will stock a full selection of tools and equipment in categories including automotive, air and power tools, storage, outdoor power equipment, generators, welding supplies, shop equipment, hand tools and much more. The stores are smaller and much easier to shop than the huge home centers.

This new store is the 123rd Harbor Freight Tools store in Texas. The company, which hires locally, has brought between 25-30 new jobs to the surrounding community,” stated Lisa Hartley, Brand Marketing Specialist of Harbor Freight Tools.

“Harbor Freight Tools is a welcomed addition to our community, and we invite everyone to join us for the official grand opening on Saturday, February 17, 2024. This event will mark the culmination of efforts to bring a reputable and affordable tool retailer to Sweetwater, providing residents with a convenient shopping destination for their home improvement needs. The arrival of Harbor Freight enhances the retail landscape in Sweetwater and brings economic benefits such as job creation and increased foot traffic. We believe that having a retailer of this caliber will play a vital role in the continued development and growth of Sweetwater, attracting customers from neighboring areas and fostering local economic prosperity,” stated Miesha Adames, Executive Director of Sweetwater Economic Development.
