Ames is buzzing with the kind of news that makes every DIY enthusiast and home renovator perk up: Harbor Freight Tools, a name that spells quality and affordability in the same breath, is moving into the North Grand Mall this June. Taking over the old T.J.Maxx spot at 2701 Grand Ave., this new store promises to be a treasure trove for those who take pride in enhancing their living spaces, one project at a time.



The departure of T.J.Maxx last year might have left a void, but it's quickly being filled with an exciting prospect. Recognized as the fastest-growing retail company by the National Retail Federation, Harbor Freight Tools is not just expanding; it's revolutionizing the way we approach our home projects.


2024 continues to be a landmark year for Harbor Freight, with the brand reaching the milestone of its 1,500th store in Kernersville, North Carolina. This relentless expansion is a testament to the brand's commitment to bringing quality tools to the hands that wield them with purpose – be it a weekend DIY project or a full-scale home renovation.



What sets Harbor Freight apart is not just its expansive inventory that caters to both the casual DIYer and the serious professional, but its commitment to the communities it serves. The Ames store plans to offer employment to locals, promising not just tools, but opportunities. And with hours designed to fit the busiest of schedules, every Ames resident can find the time to bring their home improvement visions to life.


The narrative of Harbor Freight Tools in Iowa is expanding, with a new store also in the works for Cedar Rapids. They join the ranks of existing locations in Des Moines, Urbandale, and Fort Dodge, creating a network of resources for Iowa's home improvement enthusiasts.


Eric Smidt, the visionary behind Harbor Freight Tools, captures the essence of this journey from a small mail-order company to a cornerstone of the American DIY spirit. The success story, powered by over 28,000 dedicated associates, is not just about growth but about fostering a culture of quality, value, and community.
