Tool manufacturer and retailer Northern Tool + Equipment is opening its first Northern Kentucky location in Crescent Springs’ Buttermilk Crossing shopping center.

“The countdown is on – we’re a week away from opening our newest store in Crescent Springs, Kentucky! Mark your calendars for July 8th,” the company posted to its official Facebook page.

Northern is opening in a nearly 24,800-square-foot space that Staples previously occupied.

The store carries popular tool brands like Milwaukee, Bosch, DeWalt and Husqvarna. Additionally, Northern manufactures and sells its own in-house tool brand, North Star.

Founded as Northern Hydraulics in 1981 by Don Kutola, the company changed its name to Northern Tool + Equipment as it expanded. It’s headquartered in Burnsville, Minnesota — the city it was founded in. Their Crescent Springs store will be the company’s first in Kentucky.
