The Company's Life Out Here 2030 strategy complements this progress with the addition of the following strategic initiatives:

  • Localization – Tailor product selection to meet specific demographic and regional needs to maximize relevance while remodeling store layout and adding updated features
  • Direct Sales Opportunity – Extend its legendary customer service to address the "Out Here" business-to-business market including larger farms, small to medium businesses and event spaces
  • Pet and Animal Rx – Expand capabilities to grow share of wallet with pet and animal customers while driving increased loyalty through its more than 37 million Neighbor's Club members
  • Final Mile Delivery – Create a comprehensive and scalable final mile delivery solution to provide greater order visibility and delivery reliability to its customers and unlock the potential of its direct sales opportunity
  • Tractor Supply Retail Media Network – Scale comprehensive media platform to support its brand partners and activate a new profit stream
  • Private / Exclusive Brands – Increase penetration of private label and exclusive licensed brands to enhance differentiation and improve gross margins

As part of its Life Out Here 2030 strategy, Tractor Supply is updating its long-term financial algorithm. The Company's management will provide further insights on these financial targets at today's event.

Kurt Barton, executive vice president and chief financial officer of Tractor Supply, commented, "Tractor Supply is committed to building on our longstanding track record of creating shareholder value. Capitalizing on our key competitive advantages and the ongoing strength of our current initiatives, along with investments in new growth opportunities, positions us well to continue gaining market share."
