Acme Tools opens store in Twin Cities suburbs; first new MN location since 2008
For the first time in more than a decade, Acme Tools is expanding in Minnesota. The tools and building equipment retailer has opened a new outpost in Eagan at 1271 Town Centre Drive, its fourth Minnesota location and second in the Twin Cities suburbs. The new shop offers almost 16,000 square feet of showroom, as well as a warehouse, offices, and a service department in the 41,000-square-foot building. "Acme Tools is pleased to be adding a second Twin Cities location in Eagan to better serve our customers in the St. Paul area," said Steve Kuhlman, president of corporate operations for Acme Tools. Steve is the latest member of the Kuhlman family, along with Paul Kuhlman, to run the company, which was founded in 1948 by George Kuhlman. The Eagan location adds 40 new jobs to the Grand Forks-based company's roughly 600-person workforce across 12 stores in North Dakota, Minnesota, and Iowa. In addition to the new hub in Eagan, Acme Tools has stores in Plymouth, Duluth, and Bemidji, the latter of which was its most recent Minnesota store, opening in 2008. Additionally, the Acme Tools store locator also says that it will soon open a location in Rochester.
