TSC store opening Saturday

[smstonypoint]

Two weeks ago I as at a TSC in NC and it seemed like they had more tractor/farm stuff than the closest TSC to me that is in Brunswick Maine.

Which city/town in NC? The TSCs I have visited are located in areas with some agriculture, but that industry is not the major factor in those areas' economies. It is more important in some NC areas.

It would make sense for TSC's marketing research team to formulate floor plans/stocking patterns according to the demographics of individual markets.

I live in a fairly agricultural county and the TSC three miles away has a goodly amount of tractor stuff. However, I go to the local farm co-op for a lot of stuff as well. It's a mile further, but it's purely local. And when I go to stores to get donations for local charities, TSC says no and the co-op says yes.

We've just gotten a new Fastenal shop four miles away too... Now that's like an old dime store - although it costs a lot more than a dime.

I should have bought TSC stock 10 years ago -- it's up close to 600% : http://www.tractorsupply.com/content_about_investor-relations-tsco-stock-performance.

It was in Washington I believe, I don't live in the area I was in Bath for a wedding.

Guesseral:

Thanks for the memories by mentioning Central Tractor. My local store supplied many things to keep my 1950's Farmalls (and IH implements) functioning.

They even cataloged a vast array of rebuilt and used parts. Sure miss 'em!
