Tractor Supply Company, the largest retail farm and ranch supply store chain in the country, has announced that it has entered into an agreement to purchase an undeveloped parcel of land in the Maryland Farms area of Brentwood, Tenn.

The company will build a new corporate headquarters, referred to as its Store Support Center, and expects to move to the new location in mid-2014.

Tractor Supply Company has been headquartered in leased facilities in the same Maryland Farms area since 2004. Due to unprecedented growth, however, the company leases space in three separate buildings.

"Our rapid growth has created a need for more space for our Store Support Center team members. The new facility will consolidate our current team members into one location and also accommodate future expected growth," said Jim Wright, Tractor Supply Company Chairman and CEO. "This transition would not have been possible without the assistance of our government partners at the city, county and state levels. We have been a proud member of the Brentwood and Williamson County business communities for more than eight years, and we are pleased that we will continue to call this area our home."

Tractor Supply currently employs approximately 650 of its total 17,000 team members in its three leased buildings and expects over time to grow to over 1,000 team members in the new facility.

The proposed Store Support Center will be a 260,000 square-foot, LEED-certified building located in a new development on Virginia Way, just one block from the location of the Company's current offices. The new site is part of a recently approved development that will include a new City of Brentwood passive park that will be named Margaret Hayes Powell Park.
