Tractor Supply Company, the largest rural lifestyle retail store chain in the United States, hopes to have work on its store in Sturgeon Bay completed in November. Simmons Construction has been working on the renovation project since early August. Once open, the store in the former K-Mart building at 1833 Egg Harbor Road will be the company’s 18th location in Wisconsin. The firm hopes to employ an estimated 15 full and part-time team members, utilizing 24,700 square feet of space, including 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. District Manager Mike Weeden called Sturgeon Bay a great fit for Tractor Supply. Weeden said many new customers are pleasantly surprised by the unique mix of product offerings, which in addition to farm products and hardware, also includes pet supplies and clothing items for the entire family. Tractor Supply Company, based in Brentwood, Tennessee, operates more than 1,500 stores in 49 states.
