A Tractor Supply Co. store will open in a building that sat empty for two years after a grocery store never moved in.
What It Means For You: Woodstock residents will soon have a new place to shop for farm supplies, pet food, outdoor equipment and home goods on Highway 92 near Neese Road.
Catch Up Quick: A German grocery chain called Lidl built the building in 2022 but never opened a store there.
What’s Happening: The Woodstock City Council approved plans for Tractor Supply Co. to open at 11956 Highway 92. The building has been empty since it was finished in December 2022.
- The store will use the existing 28,142 square-foot building and add a fenced outdoor area for displaying products.
- The owner expects to open within 12 months.
The Big Picture: This marks another shift in retail across Cherokee County. When big chains build stores but never open them, it leaves gaps in shopping areas that can take years to fill. Tractor Supply stores typically serve rural and suburban communities, selling everything from chicken feed to work boots to lawn mowers.
