Harbor Freight Tools, America’s go-to store for quality tools at the lowest prices, has announced that it will be opening a new store in Augusta. The new store will be located at 10 Whitten Road and is expected to open this fall. An official date will be announced closer to opening, according to a news release from the Calabasa, California-based company.

Construction has already begun at the location, using local workers and companies from the surrounding Augusta area.

“We’ve been looking to open another location in Augusta for a number of years, so that we can provide the tools and equipment at tremendous values to the community,” said Trey Feiler, senior vice president, Real Estate and Construction for Harbor Freight Tools. “In addition to finding a great location, we were attracted by the availability of great associates in the Augusta area, and we look forward to having them join the Harbor Freight team.”

The store is expected to bring between 25 and 30 new jobs to the community, including sales and logistic supervisors, senior associates, sales associates, and seasonal opportunities as well. Harbor Freight Tools offers a competitive starting rate along with a best-in-class retail benefits package that includes robust health coverage, and Thanksgiving and Christmas off. Harbor Freight provides stability and the opportunity to advance in a company that continues to grow, with more than 25,000 associates and more than 1,300 locations nationwide.
