Tractor Supply Opens Second Aiken Location on Rutland Drive on Jan. 3

Tractor Supply Co. will open its second Aiken shop on Jan. 3, 2026. You'll find it on Rutland Drive, close to where Rutland meets Laurens Street on the city's Northside.

Signs posted at the entrance announce when the doors will open. The company runs another shop at 2655 Whiskey Road in Aiken.

A third location sits at 195 Edgewood Drive in North Augusta, which means three stores now blanket the greater Aiken area.

Charles Schmidt started Tractor Supply Co. in 1938 in Chicago. He sold tractor parts through mail orders. The first brick-and-mortar shop appeared in Minot, North Dakota, one year later.

As of Sept. 27, 2025, the chain had stretched to 2,364 shops scattered through 49 states. The company also runs 206 Petsense by Tractor Supply shops in 23 states.

More than 50,000 workers keep things running. The company headquarters are located in Brentwood, Tennessee.
