Harbor Freight Garland plans would bring a new tool store to Broadmoor Village on West Centerville Road. The retailer has registered a $1.6 million renovation for 16,785 square feet at 950 W. Centerville Road, adding a recognizable national name to an established shopping center.
The project would rework existing retail space rather than build a new store from the ground up. For local shoppers, the draw is a business focused on tools for home repairs, automotive work and workshop projects. For the property, it represents another step in a changing tenant mix.
Harbor Freight Garland plans at Broadmoor Village
The Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation registration calls for new interior rooms and exterior changes. Those include a new entrance, exits, an overhead door and a receiving pad. Together, the improvements would adapt the space for both customer access and merchandise deliveries.
Registered on October 22, 2026, the project appears under TABS2027004224. The filing lists PCDF Properties LLC as the owner and ADA Architects as the design firm. Its estimated construction schedule runs from November 23, 2026, through February 2, 2027. These are construction estimates, not a confirmed store opening date.
Property Commerce’s leasing brochure identifies the property as Broadmoor Village at 950 W. Centerville Road. The center offers existing retail space along a corridor that already serves surrounding neighborhoods, making reuse of the building central to the project.
A shopping center in transition
The center’s recent history helps explain the broader story. During a July 2025 Garland Plan Commission hearing, a Property Commerce representative said Office Depot and 99 Cents Only were no longer operating there. The representative also described a La Michoacana lease for the former 99 Cents Only space.
That history does not establish which former tenant occupied Harbor Freight’s planned space. The new filing gives the street address without a suite number, and the address serves multiple tenants. It would be premature to describe the tool store as replacing either business.
Garland later adopted Ordinance 7613 in August 2025 for the broader property’s planned-development amendment. That action concerned an additional pad site and updated uses. It is separate from the current Harbor Freight renovation filing, and does not establish approval of this store’s interior plans.
From mail-order business to neighborhood tool store
Harbor Freight began in 1977 as a small mail-order tool business in North Hollywood, California, according to its company history. Founded by Eric Smidt, it has grown into a chain with more than 1,600 locations nationwide.
Its assortment spans hand and power tools, automotive equipment, generators, welding supplies and tool storage. The company serves both do-it-yourself customers and professionals. Rather than operating as a full home-improvement warehouse, it concentrates on the equipment people use to make repairs and complete projects.
The official Texas store directory already lists locations in nearby Rowlett, Richardson and Mesquite. It did not list Garland when checked. That makes the proposed address noteworthy, but does not by itself prove a first-ever Garland opening or establish whether any existing store will be affected.
Another North Texas retail investment
TCM has also covered Harbor Freight’s planned Forest Lane store in Dallas, a separate renovation of existing shopping-center space. The Harbor Freight Garland project offers another example of a national retailer adapting an established building for a new use.
An opening announcement, final store layout and store-specific hiring details remain unconfirmed. The state registration establishes a planned construction project; it is not proof that local building approvals are complete.
