Nationwide retailer Tractor Supply has confirmed plans to build a store in Ormond Beach.

Tractor Supply also is working on a store in Daytona Beach on LPGA Boulevard in Tymber Creek Village. Tractor Supply stores already are in DeLand, Deltona and New Smyrna Beach.

According to its website, Tractor Supply is the largest rural lifestyle retailer in the United States.

The company’s stores sell clothing, equine and pet supplies, tractor/trailer parts and accessories, lawn and garden supplies, sprinkler/irrigation parts, power tools, fencing, welding and pump supplies and riding mowers.

As the company website notes, customers can buy anything at a Tractor Supply store – except a tractor.

The Brentwood, Tenn.-based company, with 2,003 stores in 49 states, has discussed building a store in the 2000 block of West Granada Bloulevard with the Ormond Beach Site Plan Review Committee.

In 2021 Tractor Supply, which was founded in 1938, had $12.73 billion in sales. The company employs 46,000 people.

A spokesperson said the store would employ 15 people, about half of those full time. Interested persons may apply at the company’s website at tractorsupply.com. The spokesperson did not respond to a question about employee salaries.

No formal construction plans have been submitted to Ormond Beach and there is no schedule for submissions at this time, although the company spokesperson said in an email the store will be open in the Spring of 2023.

Discussions with city staff mention a 21,000-square-foot, architecturally enhanced, pre-engineered metal building. A garden center would add another 4,000 square feet. However, the Tractor Supply spokesperson said the Ormond Beach store will be similar in size to other Tractor Supply stores, which are 15,000 square feet with the same amount of sales space outside.

Outdoor sales might be a feature of Tractor Supply retail stores, but they are a problem with Ormond Beach development rules.

Although city land use rules allow the store, the proposed outdoor activities cannot be allowed by city staff, but must be approved by the City Commission.

Outdoor displays are not supported by city staff along Granada Boulevard. City staff also does not recommend approval of a permanent trailer area near Granada Boulevard, but would support outdoor storage on the sides or back of the site through a Special Exception to city rules or a Planned Business Development agreement, both of which require approval from the City Commission.

An interesting feature, for those who follow local development projects, is planned access to the proposed Tractor Supply store through an improved Walgreen’s driveway. The same driveway is also proposed as an access off Granada Boulevard to the planned 300-unit Tymber Creek Apartment project just north of the proposed store.

It is not known at this time how much of the commercial space next to Granada Boulevard at Tymber Creek Road would be occupied by the store.

City staff also discussed an outdoor fenced display area and a 16-foot tall fence behind the building. A canopy would cover the propane tank area if the store is built.

More parking would be needed for the store than proposed, or the company may apply for a variance from city rules through a Planned Business Development agreement, according to city staff

Other issues discussed include landscaping, stormwater, location of a fire hydrant and sidewalk access to the store.
