rumor control

[scumby]

is it true that harbor freight is going or went out of business?

They were open when we drove past on Sunday.

Scumby, what rumor did you hear? A google search suggests that HBF has goofy advertising.

co-workers wife was driving by before i went on vacation and said there was a "going out of business sale" sign posted.

They had a "parking lot sale"
Maybe she no read good...

I seriously doubt this rumor is true. Even the slightest.

They are constantly updating their products, constant "sales" going on, and every time I go in there it is pretty packed with customers. Every indication shows it is a thriving business. I can only see them shutting down if someone in management is doing something real stupid or illegal.

I heard a few months ago they were looking for a Kennewick store to open.

hopefully just a mistake.
