A Tractor Supply Company? Huh? What is this, you ask? It is a hardware store, a farming store, a clothing store, a pet store... It is aisles of all the things you didn't know you needed rolled into one!
Ok, to be honest, I only come here for the extensive selection of dog products (food, treats, toys). There are aisles and aisles of products just for dogs, not to mention for other animals such as horses, birds, etc. I also like to look around for small gifts for others (read: stocking stuffers for Dad). I suspect, however, that those who own or work on farms like this place for a whole lot of other reasons beyond my current understanding.
This Tractor Supply Co is a little off the beaten path in that it is not close by many other businesses. It is on Old 421 headed East from Boone. I come here with my dog because it is on our way back from the dog park at the Watauga Humane Society. We love to stop off and walk around (he's allowed inside, as are all dogs) and pick out a new toy or treats.
5 stars for me for this place! Love the uniqueness of the items here (including the cute baby chicks omg aw), the friendliness/knowledge/non-annoyingness of the staff, the cleanliness of the facility, and the fact that my dog is allowed.
I hate that I've never stopped by a Tractor Supply before. I will now be visiting all others! read more
