Hey everyone, I'm going to be in Milwaukee, WI for work for a few months and wanted to know if there's a flagship store in the area. Also, are there any good local spots where I can find some good deals on tools? I'd love to score some good finds while I'm there!

Just a heads up, Milwaukee Tool is primarily a brand nowadays; they don’t manufacture much in the US and their US HQ doesn’t sell tools either. They do own a lot of property in the Milwaukee area, but if you’re looking for an actual showroom, you might want to try larger stores like Home Depot instead.
The Milwaukee Tool HQ in Milwaukee is mostly offices, so they don’t sell any products directly. However, you can check out local hardware stores like Bliffert; they'll have a nice selection of Milwaukee tools depending on the location. Just a heads up, their deals aren't necessarily better than what you’d find at Home Depot, but it’s worth a look.
I’m not sure about the best places specifically in Milwaukee, but I’ve had great experiences at The Power Tool Store in Green Bay and Bliffert Lumber in Portage. If you're willing to travel a bit, I’ve also heard amazing things about the Milwaukee Man Cave at a TruValue in Hayward. Just be prepared for a longer drive if you go that route!
