The city issued a permit July 6 for Tractor Supply Co. to build its East Jacksonvillle store at 1767 St. Johns Bluff Road S.
Fulcrum Construction Group LLC of Daphne, Alabama, is the contractor for the $1.8 million project on 3.44 acres. It comprises a 22,166-square-foot store and 16,764 square feet of unenclosed space for outdoor storage and display.
The permit calls the development a “prototypical Tractor Supply.”
The site is at northeast St. Johns Bluff Road South and Bahia Drive in the Sandalwood area.
Hix Snedeker Companies LLC is the property owner.
A spokesperson for Tractor Supply previously confirmed that a new store is planned to open in 2022 in Jacksonville East.
The company has developed several area locations and plans more.
The company, based in Brentwood, Tennessee, operates more than 1,940 stores in 49 states. It was founded more than 80 years ago.
It calls itself the largest rural lifestyle retailer in the United States and a one-stop shop for recreational farmers, ranchers and others.
It sells products for the home, land, pets and animals with a focus on the needs of those living “Life Out Here.”
Tractor Supply has announced that new and remodeled stores would make better use of their indoor space and to use their outdoor “side lots” as an outside garden, feed and farm shopping center.
It also wants to expand its buy-online-pickup-in-store capabilities.
