Construction is underway at the building on west 10th Street, and Harbor Freight Tools is expected to open to the public this spring. The store is expected to bring between 25 and 30 new jobs to the community.
Great
Bend Economic Development Director Sara Arnberger is excited to see the
progress on the transformation of the building at 4903 10th Street.
"We are thrilled to welcome Harbor Freight Tools to the community," said Arnberger. "We're very excited. We hope for success for them."
Harbor Freight will take over the location of the former Ace Hardware store.
Harbor Freight has more than 1,300 locations nationwide and joined the
KansasWorks job fair in Great Bend this week. Those interested in a job can
still find an application at harborfreight.com.
