A large storefront in Lompoc that's been vacant for more than a decade will soon have a new tenant.
Lompoc officials confirm to KSBY News that Tractor Supply has plans to occupy the former Mervyn’s building at 1600 N. H Street near Big 5.
Tractor Supply on MOnday told KSBY the company is hoping to have the new store open in late June.
"Lompoc is a prime location for Tractor Supply. Along with being one of California's fastest growing communities, the city offers a generous amount of greenspace, a rich history and an agriculture legacy that we hope our products and tools can help nurture," a company representative said when asked why Lompoc was chosen for the new store. "At Tractor Supply, we proudly serve farmers, ranchers, growers and more. We are excited to join the community and hope to become a resource for all things 'Life Out Here'."
While city officials could not confirm when Mervyn’s left Lompoc, the company had closed all stores nationwide by the end of 2008.
Tractor Supply carries a variety of items for the farm, animals and pets, along with home improvement supplies and more.
The company currently has other locations in Buellton, Nipomo, San Luis Obispo and Paso Robles.
