Tractor Supply set to open late August
Published 11:11am Monday, June 18, 2012Construction is under way on a new Tractor Supply Company store in Alexander City, the company’s 37th Alabama location.
Tractor Supply Company is the largest retail farm and ranch supply store chain in the United States and has been operating in Alabama since 1997, according to the company’s website.
The Alexander City Tractor Supply store will be located in a former furniture store space at 1556 Mill Square, and it will employ 12 to 17 full- and part-time team members. The store will include sales floor and support service space. A fenced exterior space will be used for storage and displaying items such as fencing, sprayers and livestock equipment.
“Tractor Supply looks forward to being a member of the Alexander City business community,” said district manager Connie Holder. “Alexander City is a great fit due to the part-time and hobby farmers and horse owners in the area.”
The contractor for the project, Marco Contractors, Inc. of Warrendale, Pa., began construction on June 4. A completion date has been tentatively set for late August.
