Tractor Supply Company breaks ground on Idaho supply chain hub
Tractor Supply Company has started construction of its newest supply chain facility, with an eye toward LEED certification.
The nation’s largest rural lifestyle retailer has officially broken ground on a new distribution center in Nampa, Idaho. Initially announced in January 2025, the 865,000 square foot facility will be the 11th distribution center in the Tractor Supply network and represents an initial investment of nearly $225 million in the Canyon County, Idaho area.
Tractor Supply expects to bring more than 500 full-time jobs to the region with the opening of its new distribution center. The facility has an anticipated completion date in late 2026 or early 2027. Tractor Supply will begin hiring for positions at the distribution center in the second quarter of 2026.
The distribution center will eventually serve more than 200 Tractor Supply stores located throughout the Pacific Northwest, including nearby stores in Middleton, Kuna and Emmett, Idaho, and will be built to LEED green building certification standards.
"Today is an exciting milestone in our company’s storied history," said Hal Lawton, Tractor Supply CEO. "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."
