New Tractor Supply Opens In Trexlertown

The Trexlertown business shift officially began July 28 with the grand opening celebration of a new Tractor Supply.

The TN based company vacated its previous store in the Trexlertown Shopping Center and constructed a new facility on an empty lot that previously housed Mayo Autos on Hamilton Blvd. at Constitution Way near Route 100.

Val Mordan, manager of the store, said July 28 marked the grand opening.

She said the new store is approximately the same size as the old one. That means there probably won’t be any hiring in the near future.

Tractor Supply’s old location will be razed and become the site of a new Giant food store. Trexlertown’s current Giant in the Shoppes at Trexler will close by the end of the year, according to Chris Brand, Giant spokesperson.

The new Giant will be 76,000 square feet, 19,000 square fee. larger than the current store. There will be an expanded health and beauty aids department along with a large organic product area and an in-store café with WiFi.

Six gas pumps with 12 fuel stations will be installed.

Brand said it has yet to be determined if any additional employees will be needed at the new store.

No plans have been announced yet as to what business will occupy the Giant store to be vacated. It’s been at the Shoppes at Trexler location since 1996.
