Uniontown Manager named

Tractor Supply Co. has named Randy Raymond as manager of its new Uniontown store.

Renovations are nearing completion at the Tractor Supply Co. store in Uniontown, and the opening is tentatively scheduled for May 20, according to Stan Ruta, TSC’s senior vice president of store operations.

Renovations began on the former Quality facility, located at 900 Morgantown Rd., after the existing inventory was liquidated. Renovations included repainting the store front, adding to the side lot presentation area, re-stripping the parking lot, installing Tractor Supply signs, building interior fixture walls, repainting the interior, cleaning and repairing the flooring, and adding more lighting.

Raymond joined Tractor Supply after serving as manager of the Uniontown Quality Farm and Fleet Store for almost a year.

“We look forward serving the customers in the Uniontown area with our everyday low prices, great products and legendary customer service,” Raymond said.

Tractor Supply Company, listed on the NASDAQ Stock Exchange as TSCO, operates over 400 stores in 30 states and is focused on supplying products for the lifestyle needs of hobby and part-time farmers and ranchers. The Company, headquartered in Nashville, Tenn., also serves the maintenance needs of suburban customers, contractors and tradesmen.
