March 14 2019 - 5:23PM
Tractor Supply Company (NASDAQ: TSCO), the largest rural lifestyle
retailer in the United States, today announced it has officially
opened its new distribution center in Frankfort, N.Y.
“Tractor Supply is excited to formally open the
doors of our newest and largest distribution center in Frankfort,
N.Y.,” said Greg Sandfort, Tractor Supply’s Chief Executive
Officer. “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. We
appreciate the support of the Frankfort community and New York
State since we first broke ground in August 2017, and we look
forward to a longstanding partnership with the community.”
“From day one of this administration, we have
made significant strategic investments upstate to create good jobs
and bolster the economy, and the grand opening of this distribution
center in Herkimer County demonstrates once again that New York
State is open for business,” New York Governor Andrew Cuomo said.
“We are proud to invest in companies that invest in New York and
Tractor Supply’s new facility will generate hundreds of jobs and
move the Mohawk Valley’s economy forward.”
Tractor Supply executives and local and state
government officials held a grand opening event earlier today,
March 14, at the site of the Frankfort distribution center located
in the Frankfort 5S South Business Park. The facility is
approximately 925,000 square-feet in size and currently services
over 140 Tractor Supply stores, with the potential to service over
200 stores in the Northeast region within its first year of
operation. The facility has already created over 280 local jobs,
with plans to create more than 350 full-time jobs in the first five
years.
The new distribution center has been designed
and built to meet high energy efficiency and environmental
standards and the Company is seeking LEED® Silver certification by
the U.S. Green Building Council. If certified by the Council,
the distribution center would be the third Tractor Supply Company
facility to achieve LEED® Silver certification. The others to
achieve certification are the Company’s Store Support Center in
Brentwood, Tenn. and Casa Grande, Ariz. distribution center. The
Frankfort distribution center was built to include:
- Energy efficient design and heating systems;
- Water saving plumbing and irrigation systems;
- Recycled and regionally sourced building materials; and
- LED lighting.
Tractor Supply currently operates seven other
primary distribution centers in various locations including Casa
Grande, Ariz., Franklin, Ky., Hagerstown, Md., Macon, Ga.,
Pendleton, Ind., Waco, Texas, and Waverly, Neb. Tractor Supply
operates 82 stores in New York State.
