arbor Freight Tools, which boars quality tools at low prices, is opening its 27th Arizona store in Mesa on Saturday, Nov. 14. Located at 1260 West University Drive, the new store brings approximately 25-30 new jobs to the community and will be open seven days a week, 8 a.m.-7 p.m. every day except Sunday, when hours at 9 a.m.-6 p.m. It will resume its regular hours of 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Saturday and 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sunday “after the COVID-19 crisis has passed,” the company said. “We’re ready to serve and deliver value to customers in Mesa and all of Maricopa County,” said Ron Fudge, store manager. “At Harbor Freight, we recognize that now, more than ever, our customers depend on Harbor Freight for the tools they need to get the job done at an affordable price. “We are the place for quality tools at the lowest prices for mechanics, contractors, homeowners and hobbyists – any tool user who cares about value.” 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 that come with a lifetime warranty and more. At 14,500-square-feet, the store is “much easier to shop than the huge home centers,” the company said in a release. Public Notices ............... page 3 © Copyright, 2020 East Valley Tribune
Harbor Freight has its own credit card that customers can apply for instore and, if approved, earn 10 percent off their first purchase and 5 percent back on their future purchases in Harbor Freight Money. Or, they can choose 0 percent interest with equal monthly payments on purchases of $299 or more. Details are harborfreight.com/credit. During the COVID-19 crisis, all Harbor Freight stores have implemented more frequent cleaning and are following the guidelines from the Center for Disease Control, including social distancing to protect customers and associates. People with COVID-19 symptoms are asked to shop at harborfreight.com rather than in person. The California-based company was founded in Southern California in 1977, when 17-year-old Eric Smidt began transforming his father’s small sales business into a successful mailorder company. That year, Smidt cut out the middlemen and sourced tools directly from the factories, realizing that if he could buy tools directly for less, he could pass the savings on to the customer. Today, Harbor Freight has over 1,100 stores across the country with over 21,000 employees. Still family-owned, the company serves more than 40 million customers who earn a living, repair their homes and cars and pursue their hobbies. It boats “core values of excellence, (USPS 004-616) is published weekly

Its flagship initiative is the annual Harbor Freight Tools for Schools Prize for Teaching Excellence, which honors 18 teachers and their programs with $1 million in cash awards. Harbor Freight Tools also supports non-profit organizations that serve K-12 public education, first responders and veterans.
