Tractor Supply Co., which bills itself as “the largest rural lifestyle retailer in the United States,” is moving toward opening a store in Berryville.
The company has filed a petition to rezone a 6.75-acre parcel of land on the west side of the city’s West Freeman Avenue extension from R-1 Single-Family Residential to C-2 Highway Commercial “for the purpose of allowing a retail supply business,” according to a notice of a public hearing to be held by the Berryville Planning and Zoning Commission at 5:15 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 24, at Berryville City Hall.
The proposed store location is on the north side of West Freeman Avenue, across the street from a solar panel array utilized by the Berryville School District.
A preliminary site plan submitted by the company shows a proposed store layout comprising 21,930 square feet, with a fenced outdoor display area of 20,048 square feet. The document notes that it is a “conceptual site plan,” for planning purposes only.
City officials said Tractor Supply has been looking into opening a store in Berryville for several months.
“Tractor Supply has expressed an interest and told us they are coming to Berryville and they’re in the process of acquiring land,” Mayor Tim McKinney said.
Founded in Chicago in 1938 as a mail-order business selling tractor parts, Tractor Supply Company is now a Fortune 500 company, operating more than 2,200 stores in 49 states with more than 50,000 employees. The company says it had $14.6 billion in sales in 2023.
