Tractor Supply Company breaks ground in Darlington
Tractor Supply Company has begun construction in Darlington. Construction on the store, located at 1527 S. Main Street, began earlier this month, with a goal of opening in late fall.
Tractor Supply will serve as a one-stop shop for the Darlington community’s farmers, livestock and pet owners, ranchers, part-time and hobby farmers, gardeners, homeowners, tradesmen and others.
The Darlington Tractor Supply plans to hire 12 to 15 employees with firsthand knowledge and expertise in caring for pets, livestock and land.
“We’re not just building a store, we’re building a team that understands the needs of the Darlington community,” said District Manager Jason Holland. “At Tractor Supply, we carry products that support the lifestyle our customers lead, the land they own and the animals in their care, so whether you are someone who raises horses and pets, runs a hobby farm or just enjoys the rural lifestyle, we’ll be there to make sure you have all the tools you need.
At the store, customers will be able to shop a wide selection of products at a great value including workwear and boots, tractor and trailer parts and accessories, lawn and garden supplies, sprinkler and irrigation parts, power tools, fencing, welding and pump supplies, riding mowers and more. The Darlington store will also carry a wide variety of food and supplies for pets, equine and livestock.
The Tractor Supply team will also seek to support pet adoption initiatives, 4-H and FFA, county fairs and livestock shows.
W.R. Newman is constructing the 19,097-square-foot retail space, which will include a sales floor and external support service area.
The store opening is expected to occur in November and will kick off with a four-day Grand Opening celebration.
