...Ford dealership.

I'm seeing less than 3 miles for almost all local stores and about half of them are less than a mile. 

 

I want a larger sample size.

I've got 3.9 miles for the Bowling Green, Kentucky location. Looks like the closest dealership is a Hyundai outfit at 2.6 miles.

3.3 miles for me.

To be fair though the local HF is near a whole strip of dealerships ranging from Kias and Hyundais to Rolls Royce and Aston Martin...

Our HF store is across a 3 lane street from the Volvo/Hyundai/VW dealer but about 1.5 miles as the crow flies to the Ford dealer. There is a river in the way though so you would have to actually drive almost 10 miles to get there

I'm seeing 0.9 miles for one of the Harbor Freights to a Ford dealer, and 5.2 miles for the other Harbor Freight I know of to a different Ford dealer.

What are you trying to say here? cheeky

6.4 miles Thousand Oaks

.9 miles Simi Valley

6.7 miles Oxnard

Some of these are kind of high and interestingly are all in the same area of the previous and current headquarters.

3.6 miles. 1.2 to the GMC/Chevy dealers. Right across the street from the used car dealer that used to be Suzuki.

Teh Googles says Ford is 5.6 miles.

Edit: Hyundai, Mazda, Toyota, and Honda are 4.3 miles.

Interestingly, the fancier dealers - Jag, Land Rover, Porsche,  BMW - are the farthest away.  Hmmm

In reply to Appleseed :

More young techs being cycled through high volume dealerships who can't/won't spend the $$$ for tools off a truck. It's not meant as a slam or commentary of quality of product or service. But it's a theory that I have based on the closest HF locations and I'm potentially putting something together for work pertaining to it.

In reply to Appleseed :

The aspect, when compared to the trucks, is people today change careers far more frequently than previous generations, so a hand tool that's going to last 75 years may have no more value to them then one that may last 15.
