It took nearly 2 years for the buyout of Orshlens by TSC to be completed. Feds got involved over antitrust and monopoly of trade, so eventually, Orshlens was sold to three competing outfits. TSC, Bomgaars and Bucheits. If you were lucky enough to get one of the latter two, not much has changed. TSC.....not so much. They are just a nationwide box store selling lowest denominator crapola to the urban rubes. All the Duke 110's, 220's and DP's I have came from Orshlens. You won't find anything at TSC much bigger than a rat trap.
In some of the small MO towns like Carrollton and Salisbury (Clay Creech country), I fully expect TSC will eventually close those......despite both being located in buildings less than 5 years old. They will expect people to drive another 30 miles to the nearest TSC. Best anyone can hope for is they do close em and somebody else takes them on. There are some good ones out there. In addition to Bomgaars and Bucheits, there are Family Center, Farm and Fleet and others. Outfits run by people who know their customers and what they want and need.
Easy to vote your way into socialism, but impossible to vote your way out of it.

The only problem we have here with Runnings is if it’s on sale it’s not in stock most of the time just great deals you can’t get. LOL

Glad we have choices!
I choose not to shop where Democrat policies are funded or celebrated.
Amen to that!
More and more when I go anywhere I find myself keeping track of where the nearest rest room is.

Where are you from? I get most of my stuff in Brookfield. That store is a turd.

So I contacted Purina and asked for a list of stores that carry their brand of chicken feed. They emailed me stating I can only get it at Tractor Supply. I politely explained I was no longer a customer there and would have to find another brand if there was not another distributor. I don’t think they care but let’s see if they reply.

Our local livestock suppler could get Purina by the pallet in the #50 bags.

TSC just released this. These days you might as well get a block of salt rather than just a grain. Not sure what you mean by the salt comment, but I'd consider this a win. But why do it in the first place, something smells.

Did they fire their CEO? He had to.have signed off on it IF he didn't push it himself. TSC has been expanding like crazy, wouldn't surprise me if their investors ( Blackrock, Vanguard, etc) didn't say, " Need this $300 million? Hang some gay flags,vetc", lol. That's how and why this crap gets pushed, got to.get a high score to play.

The wreck happened, the question is now, how long will the recovery be?
Was it even a wreck? Not more then a stone chip, lol. Stock.price $267 today, was $264 few days back, peak of " boycott". Was $290 June 18, so yeah, substantial drop. BUT, was $210 end of 2023... Again, has anyone been FIRED? Most likely, just off the radar now. You need to borrow money from babks/investors? See this guy. You WILL comply... ![[Linked Image]](https://trapperman.com/forum/attachments/usergals/2024/06/full-2625-221687-img_5596_jpeg_3252648.jpeg)

CNBC article published this morning states tractor supply announced it will eliminate DEI roles, withdraw carbon emission goals, and walk back supporting LGBTQ communities. We customers screamed at direction they were going, and evidently the company listened loud and clear. Jim

Money cannot buy you happiness, but it can buy you a trapping license and that's pretty close.
