FRANKFORT — Tractor Supply Company’s new distribution center in the town of Frankfort in Herkimer County currently services more than 140 Tractor Supply stores.
The facility has the potential to service over 200 stores in the Northeast region within its first year of operation, the Brentwood, Tennessee–based firm said in a news release.
Tractor Supply on March 14 formally opened its distribution center. It has already created more than 280 local jobs, with plans to create more than 350 full-time jobs in the first five years.
The new 925,000-square-foot location will help service the “growing needs” of the company’s stores throughout the Northeast, as well as its online customers, according to the office of Gov. Andrew Cuomo.
When asked about the project cost, the company tells CNYBJ, “Tractor Supply made a substantial investment spread over several years that’s necessary as we continue our store growth.”
The construction of this project is the “largest economic-development project in 30 years in Herkimer County,” Cuomo’s office said. It’s located in the Frankfort 5S South Business Park.
Jackson, Tennessee–based H&M Company Inc. handled the design work and construction on the distribution center, according to Tractor Supply.
Tractor Supply Company is described as the country’s largest rural lifestyle retailer.
“This new distribution center allows us to expand our store base in the Northeastern corridor of the country and better serve our existing customers with faster, more efficient delivery to our stores, while expanding our digital-fulfillment strategy,” Greg Sandfort, CEO of Tractor Supply Company, said in the release.
The Frankfort distribution center is Tractor Supply’s eighth center nationwide.
Empire State Development has committed up to $3 million in performance-based Excelsior Jobs Program tax credits, which are tied directly to the creation of 350 new jobs over the next five years.
New York State Homes and Community Renewal awarded Herkimer County $750,000 in Community Development Block Grant economic-development funds to support the project.
In addition, the New York Power Authority has allocated more than 1.3 megawatts of low-cost hydropower to the Village of Frankfort for the direct benefit of Tractor Supply.
Tractor Supply Company (NASDAQ: TSCO) has more than 29,000 employees. It sells products both in stores and online. As of Dec. 29, 2018, the company operated 1,765 Tractor Supply stores in 49 states and an e-commerce website.
