Soon folks in Hope, Arkansas won't have to travel to Texarkana to go to Harbor Freight Tools that's because Harbor Freight will soon be opening a store in Hope.

According to a report from SWArk Today, the new Harbor Freight will be located in the former Fred's store located in the North Hervey Street Shopping Center. This will mark Harbor Freight's 17th store in the state of Arkansas, and officials say it will likely open sometime in the mid-fall if everything goes according to plan. Company officials feel like the first store in Hempstead County will be beneficial to the area and convenient to customers who have to travel to Texarkana, Hot Springs, Benton, or Little Rock to shop at the popular chain hardware store.
