Brentwood, Tenn., Jan 13 — Tractor Supply Company (NASDAQ: TSCO), the largest rural lifestyle retailer in the United States, announced today it has opened its 2,400th store location in Aiken, South Carolina. The new Aiken store is one of four Tractor Supply locations to host a Grand Opening within the first two weeks of 2026, setting the pace for the retailer’s expansion plans to open 100 new stores by the end of the year.
Situated on the north side of town, the new Aiken store features a 3,000 square foot Garden Center and is a welcome counterpart to an existing Tractor Supply location that has served the community since 2004. Aiken is recognized as a community steeped in equestrian heritage, offering horse enthusiasts ample opportunities to raise, ride, train and shop for all things equine in the heart of “Thoroughbred Country.”
“At Tractor Supply, everything starts with the communities we serve and the customers who rely on us every day,” said John Ordus, Tractor Supply’s Chief Stores Officer. “With its deep-rooted horse culture, enduring sense of community and passion for Life Out Here, we are honored to mark our 2,400th store right here in Aiken and are excited to welcome in our neighbors.”
To kick off the Grand Opening celebration, on Friday, January 9, Tractor Supply Store Manager John Barbato and District Manager Larry Wood joined Aiken Chamber of Commerce representatives for a ceremonial ribbon cutting. On Saturday, January 10, the store team invited the Aiken community in to browse the store and enjoy an antique tractor show, face painting, a petting zoo and more, all in partnership with local vendors. Tractor Supply also presented Aiken Equine Rescue, the largest horse rescue center in the southeastern United States, with $2,400 to support its important work rescuing, rehabilitating and caring for abused or neglected horses.
