Following its acquisition of Orscheln Farm & Home in 2022, Tractor Supply Company faced the complex challenge of rapidly converting newly acquired stores into fully branded Tractor Supply locations. The initiative required transforming large-format retail spaces ranging from 25,000 to 40,000 square feet across multiple Midwest states. Each location needed to reflect Tractor Supply’s latest prototype standards while remaining operationally efficient and cost-controlled. The scope extended beyond simple remodels, requiring coordinated design-build execution, architectural services, and the integration of new exterior garden centers.
The urgency intensified with the more recent conversion of 18 former Big Lots stores, which had to be completed by the end of the calendar year to count toward new store growth targets. This schedule-driven program required architecture and permitting to begin months in advance while ensuring seamless coordination with fixture vendors, signage teams, and ownership stakeholders. The challenge was not only execution at scale, but delivering speed, consistency, and brand alignment across dozens of locations in multiple states without compromising quality or budget discipline.
Parkway Construction and Architecture served as a fully integrated design-build partner, managing architecture, permitting, construction management, and general contracting under a unified execution strategy. By aligning early with ownership and maintaining Architect of Record responsibilities across multiple states, Parkway streamlined approvals, reduced handoffs, and accelerated timelines. Architecture and permitting began months before construction, enabling efficient mobilization across all locations.
Across both the Orscheln conversions and the Big Lots remodel program, Parkway utilized negotiated contracts and coordinated closely with fixture and signage vendors to ensure consistent brand execution and smooth turnovers. This collaborative approach maintained alignment with Tractor Supply’s latest prototype standards.
By preserving existing footprints and occupancy classifications where feasible, the team delivered cost-efficient remodels while upgrading interiors, façades, parking areas, and adding a garden center. The repeatable execution model allowed Tractor Supply to open each location on schedule and meet its expansion objectives.
Through Parkway’s integrated design-build execution, Tractor Supply successfully converted and remodeled dozens of locations across seven states, positioning the brand for accelerated national growth. From the 2022 Orscheln acquisition transition to the 18 Big Lots conversions delivered by year end, every project was completed on schedule and aligned with Tractor Supply’s latest prototype standards. The ability to manage architecture, permitting, and construction under one coordinated strategy ensured consistency across 25,000 to 40,000 square foot retail environments while maintaining strict cost control.
Beyond timely delivery, the program strengthened Tractor Supply’s retail presence through upgraded interiors, refreshed façades, enhanced parking areas, and new garden center additions that elevated the customer experience. By executing 45 projects under negotiated contracts with strong owner collaboration, Parkway helped transform acquisition properties into fully branded, revenue-generating stores—supporting Tractor Supply’s expansion goals and long-term market positioning.
