Tractor Supply Co. plans to open a new store in Pulaski by early next year, its first in Brown County.
Real estate developer CMK Properties on March 27 purchased a 3.9-acre property at 747 Markham Drive from Kwik Trip Stores Inc. for $125,000, according to state property transaction records.
CMK in a news release said it will build a nearly 22,000-square-foot “prototype” Tractor Supply store on the site. It will be the 10th store the Tennessee-based developer has built for publicly-traded Tractor Supply, which bills itself as a “rural lifestyle retailer.”
“We are excited to continue growing our long-standing relationship with Tractor Supply Company,” said John Hopfensperger, CMK Properties founder and CEO in the news release. “Reaching our 10th project together is a testament to the strength of our partnership and our shared commitment to delivering high-quality retail assets in strong and growing communities.”
The Pulaski store will be Tractor Supply’s 37th store in Wisconsin.
Here’s what to know.
How soon will construction start on the Pulaski Tractor Supply?
CMK plans to waste no time building the new store on the site.
The property has a Markham Drive address, but is visible from both State 32/South Wisconsin St. and Glenbrook Drive south of the site.
The company expects to begin construction in April with an expectation to finish the building by October.
When will the Pulaski Tractor Supply Co. open?
CMK expects Tractor Supply to move into its new store starting in December.
Pulaski shoppers should watch for details about a grand opening in January.
What is Tractor Supply Co.?
Tractor Supply Co. for more than 85 years has focused on serving recreational farmers, homeowners, gardeners, pet enthusiasts and rural communities in general.
The company has nearly 2,400 locations in 49 states now and features a variety of products from ammunition to pet supplies to power tools. It stocks popular brands like Carhartt, Cub Cadet, Yeti, and Wrangler.
