Del’s Feed and Farm Supply reopens as a Tractor Supply Company store with a soft opening on Friday, company officials announced in a new release.

The Kent location, at 8420 S. 228th St., is Tractor Supply’s seventh store in Washington and will employ 12-15 team members. The facility spans approximately 26,000 square feet, including sales floor and support service space.

Tractor Supply Company, one of the largest rural lifestyle retail store chains in the United States and owner of Del’s Feed and Farm Supply, has been taking care of those who live the “out here” lifestyle since 1938. Tractor Supply operates more than 1,500 stores in 49 states.

The Kent Tractor Supply store will offer a comprehensive selection of national and Tractor Supply brand merchandise for horses, livestock and pets as well as a broad selection of tools, hardware, light truck equipment, work clothing for the family, and a line of seasonal products including insulated outerwear and heating products.

“Del’s Feed and Farm Supply has been a part of the community for many years, and we’re extremely excited to announce that the customers who have supported us all these years will soon have even more great products to choose from at their new Tractor Supply store,” said Tractor Supply District Manager Gary Vetter. “Customers will also see many familiar faces on the Tractor Supply Kent team who are dedicated to providing legendary customer service to ensure they have everything they need for their livestock, pets and property.”
