All the clues are here:
- Exterior Renderings and Elevations for a "Proposed New Location" were on the May 4, 2016, agenda for the Apopka Development Review Committee.
- Apopka-based Hanlex Development shows a site plan on its website showing a Tractor Supply store to be located at 180 West 1st Street in Apopka.
The Apopka Voice attempted to contact Jeremy Anderson, Vice President at Hanlex but he did not return our call.
When The Apopka Voice contacted Tennessee-based Tractor Supply Company yesterday we got this email response from company spokesman, Rob Hoskins:
"Our real estate department has informed me that there is no information to release about a potential new store location in Apopka (FL) at this time."
Hoskins went on to say, "What we can say at this time is that, as a growth minded company, Tractor Supply Company (TSC) is always looking for potential new store locations that are a good fit as far as the target market is concerned. Concerning a potential location in Apopka, this is especially true in that the area is attractive due to the part-time and hobby farmers, and horse owners in the area."
The 3.24-acre parcel shown in the Hanlex map is still owned by Hart Nurseries, according to the Orange County Property Appraiser.
