On a misty Friday morning last week, Del. Lee Ware joined a small crowd in celebrating the grand opening of the new Tractor Supply store in Powhatan.

The store has actually been open since Aug. 1 and store manager Debra Smith says business has been booming.

“It’s wonderful,” she said Friday. “People in the community have been really supportive.”

Tractor Supply stocks a full range of farm supplies, as well as power tools, lawn mowers, and garden equipment. Store hours in Powhatan are Mon. – Sat. 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. and Sun. 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.
