Tractor Supply Co. plans to occupy the former Kmart building in Oak Harbor off Highway 20.

Documents filed with the city planning department show the rural lifestyle retailer plans to remodel and occupy the east side of the building and the outdoor garden area. Plans show 33,000 square feet divided into areas for retail, stock, feed and hay.

A planning department official confirmed no other companies have yet filed plans with the city to improve the rest of the building.

So far, work hasn’t begun on the building. Thursday afternoon the cavernous building was dark and empty.

Earlier this month the company put up two “COMING SOON” signs. Officials for the company refused to confirm when or where the store might be coming.

Tractor Supply Co. describes itself as “the largest operator of rural lifestyle stores” in the U.S. Its headquarters are located in Brentwood, Tenn. and it operates more than 1,450 retail stores in 49 states.

The company started in 1938 as a mail order catalog business that sold tractor parts. Today its annual revenues are $5.7 billion. The company’s customers are farmers, horse owners, ranchers, part-time and hobby farmers, homeowners and tradesmen.

The typical Tractor Supply store is about 15,500 square feet with a similar amount outside. They supply products such as workwear, pet supplies, animal feed, power tools, riding mowers and lawn and garden products, according to its website. The company says it likes to hire welders, farmers and horse owners.

The company has stores in Port Orchard, Puyallup, Olympia, Yelm and Monroe.
