The Orange Tractor Supply store will be located at 253 Indian River Road, and will employ an estimated 15 full- and part-time team members. The store will be approximately 19,097 square feet, 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.
“Tractor Supply looks forward to being a member of the Orange community,” said District Manager Alan Morris in a press release.
“Orange is a great fit for Tractor Supply due to the horse owners and part-time and hobby farmers in the area. Many of our new customers are pleasantly surprised by our unique mix of product offerings, which in addition to farm products and hardware, also includes pet food and supplies and clothing items for the entire family.”
The contractor for the project, W.R. Newman & Associates Inc., began construction on February 22. A completion date has been tentatively set for mid-September.
