I saw in the paper that TSC got approval for a new store in Tallahassee Fla. About a mile from my office. Maybe I wont have to go to Georgia quite as often.
We are getting a new store right down the valley from us.
Same driving time as to the store over in Chattanooga,
But with this one I don't have to cross a mountain.
So maybe it could save us some gas money.
I have two within 25 min of my house. One in the town north of me and one in the town east of me. It helps out incase one does not have something in stock.
I also have a Southern States that a guy runs from his farm in the same town I live. He does not have as big a selection for horse suppiles as TSC but on everything else he is a lot cheaper. I saved $225.00 on the same fencing, post, both wood and T-post, buying from him. TSC would not match his price.
Supposed to be one opening about 15 miles from my place, which is good. There are only 2 TSC's in NJ, & each one is around 90 minutes (or more) from me.
A new one just opened in January in Macon, GA, right across the road from a Northern Tools store. I can spend a lot of money without having to travel all over town! They are about 30 miles from my wife's farm.
TSC is going for planning board approval for Flemington, NJ. It'll be 10 miles from home, but even better, on the way home from work! Unfortunately, it will take a year or more to open, between PB backlog and construction.
Factoid: The local paper reported that, by TSC's numbers, less than 10% of their customers are professional, full time farmers.
We just got a new one in our little, 5,000 population town. It's actually about 6 miles from where I live and is the only one in the county. It saves me a 30 mile drive and gives me somewhere to hide out during rainy weather. I couldn't be happier.
You know.... you guys with the new TCS's.....the TSC employees will start greeting you by your first name before it's over. (I know)
Our TSC has been here for quite a while. Too small. Reminds me of those old country hardware stores with stuff hanging from the walls from floor to ceiling. Time for an expansion.
