Tractor Supply to relocate its Cedar Rapids store this winter

CEDAR RAPIDS — National retailer Tractor Supply Co. will relocate to its Cedar Rapids operations to a new southwest quadrant location by the end of the year.

The new store will be constructed at 4415 Williams Blvd. SW near Menards and UnityPoint Clinic Family Medicine-Westdale. The facility will replace the existing Tractor Supply Co. at 6622 Sixth St. SW.

A company spokesperson told The Gazette a soft opening is planned for early December at the new location with a grand opening celebration to follow in early 2026.

“The new store will provide about 15 new jobs to the area, with at least half of those being full time positions,” the spokesperson wrote in an email. “Anyone interested in applying for a position can visit www.TractorSupply.com/careers."

Tractor Supply Co. is a nationwide farm retailer that sells agricultural and livestock products, as well as home improvement and lawn care supplies. The new Cedar Rapids location also will include a garden center and pet wash.

Cedar Rapids City Council members this week unanimously approved a rezoning for the project, although the change was made on the condition the developer conduct a traffic study as part of the administrative site plan review process.

Laurie Dawley of Shuttleworth & Ingersoll, which is representing the project’s developer Atwater Group, told council members that the Tractor Supply store is expected to see its heaviest traffic in the evenings and weekends, thus minimizing impacts to the nearby UnityPoint clinic.

Further, Dawley said the store’s initial site plans were adjusted following conversations with the nearby property owners to relocate Tractor Supply’s outdoor storage away from the UnityPoint building for aesthetic purposes.

“We have been hearing (neighbors’) comments, and we have taken action,” Dawley said in a statement to City Council members ahead of the rezoning vote. “ … We are listening. We are trying to react and respond” as appropriate.

The Tractor Supply spokesperson said additional information about the new location and its full range of offerings will become available closer to the soft opening.
