Tractor Supply Company recently broke ground on a new distribution center in Nampa, Idaho. The new 865,000-square-foot facility will be the 11th distribution center in the Tractor Supply network.
Colin Yankee, Tractor Supply chief supply chain officer, joined state and local leaders for a groundbreaking ceremony.
“Today is an exciting milestone in our company’s storied history,” Yankee says. “As we mark the groundbreaking of the Nampa facility, we are celebrating the extension of our distribution network to the Pacific Northwest for the very first time. We are proud to serve hobby farmers, pet owners, gardening enthusiasts, fourth-generation farming families and all those in this region who live Life Out Here more efficiently than ever. We are also celebrating the hundreds of Team Members who will join our Tractor family, and we are celebrating our arrival in our newest home, one that shares our agricultural roots and our commitment to community. It is an honor to be here.”
The distribution center will bring more than 500 full-time jobs to the region. Tractor Supply Co. also donated $10,000 each to the Ridgevue FFA and Canyon County 4-H chapters in the area, both organizations that play a vital role in youth development and agricultural education.
“While today marks the beginning of the Nampa Distribution Center, Tractor Supply has already been such a generous advocate for our community in their support of our local FFA and 4-H chapters,” says Debbie King, mayor of Nampa, Idaho. “We are thankful they will be providing well-paying employment opportunities for hundreds of people in our community. Our newest neighbor is one we are grateful to have.”
