I have seen a lot of new Harbor Freight stores being built. They do not do franchises. The son recently tool over and took out big loans to expand. Will he be able to keep paying off those loans? China tarriffs may force higher prices on almost everything in the store. If he can no longer compete on price will they try to compete on quality? I have seen a few things made in Russia, India, and Italy.
