Tractor Supply Breaks Ground on New Distribution Center in Nampa, Idaho

Tractor Supply Company, the largest rural lifestyle retailer in the United States, yesterday broke ground on its new distribution center in Nampa, Idaho. The 865,000-square-foot facility will be the 11^th distribution center in the Tractor Supply network and represents an initial investment of nearly $225 million in the Canyon County area.

To mark the occasion, Tractor Supply Chief supply chain officer Colin Yankee joined federal, state and local leaders, including Idaho’s Lt. Gov. Scott Bedke and Nampa’s Mayor Debbie Kling, for a groundbreaking ceremony.

Tractor Supply is bringing more than 500 full-time, high-quality jobs to the region with the opening of its new distribution center. These positions are designed to offer competitive wages, comprehensive benefits and long-term career growth opportunities — part of the company’s ongoing commitment to investing in its Team Members and building strong communities.

That commitment was evident from the groundbreaking event, where Tractor Supply pledged its support to the region from day one. The Company donated $10,000 each to the Ridgevue FFA and Canyon County 4-H chapters, organizations that play a vital role in youth development and agricultural education. Adding a special community touch, the event was catered by students from the Nampa School District in the Idaho Center for Advanced Technology Culinary Arts Program, showcasing local talent and future professionals.

“Today is an exciting milestone in our company’s storied history. As we mark the groundbreaking of the Nampa facility, we are celebrating the extension of our distribution network to the Pacific Northwest for the very first time. We are proud to serve hobby farmers, pet owners, gardening enthusiasts, fourth generation farming families and all those in this region who live Life Out Here more efficiently than ever. We are also celebrating the hundreds of Team Members who will join our Tractor family, and we are celebrating our arrival in our newest home, one that shares our agricultural roots and our commitment to community. It is an honor to be here,” said Yankee.

Tractor Supply evaluated cities for potential distribution center sites in five states before selecting Nampa. The distribution center will eventually serve more than 200 Tractor Supply stores located throughout the Pacific Northwest, including nearby stores in Middleton, Kuna and Emmett, Idaho, and will be built to LEED certification standards.

Tractor Supply is a top employer in rural America, with 12 stores in Idaho and 2,296 stores in total across 49 states. Tractor Supply currently operates 10 distribution centers located in Frankfort, New York; Casa Grande, Arizona; Franklin, Kentucky; Hagerstown, Maryland; Macon, Georgia; Pendleton, Indiana; Waco, Texas; Waverly, Nebraska; Navarre, Ohio; and Maumelle, Arkansas.
