A.D. Ibarra -Eagle Pass

Robert Mireles of the Eagle Pass Chamber of Commerce eloquently emceed the Grand Opening of our latest new business which should become a key player in Eagle Pass' transition into the Eagle Ford Shale Project which gets nearer and nearer to our fair city each and every day. The Eagle Pass, Texas, Tractor Supply Company store held its grand opening on Saturday, Dec. 7, with specially priced merchandise Dec. 6-8. The store officially opened for business Nov. 23. The Eagle Pass location is Tractor Supply’s 139th store in Texas and employs 17 team members. The facility has 19,097 square feet, including sales floor and support service space. Tractor Supply is the largest retail farm and ranch supply store chain in the United States and has been operating in Texas since 1950.  “Eagle Pass is a great location for Tractor Supply Company because it’s a growing town, and we’re centrally located,” said Store Manager Norma Herrera. “Our knowledgeable, friendly team is from the area, and we invite everyone to come visit us and experience Tractor Supply’s legendary customer service. There is something here for everyone.”

Herrera joined Tractor Supply in 2013 as a manager-in-training at the Uvalde location. Prior to joining Tractor Supply, she worked at Walmart for 17 years and a clothing store for five years. In her free time, the Eagle Pass native enjoys fishing. As store manager, Herrera oversees all store operations, including receiving, inventory control and merchandising, as well as customer and team member relations. To celebrate the grand opening of the store, shoppers received 10 percent off their first purchase, up to $100, from Dec. 6-8, and entered to win prizes including store gift cards, pet feed, clothing, power tools, a 22-ton log splitter and a chain saw. Free Tractor Supply caps were also given away while supplies lasted. "This is the 139th Tractor Supply store in Texas," stated Herrera, "We are the largest retail farm and ranch supply store chain in the United States." The grand opening event this Saturday featured a mariachi band, a ballet folklorico, miniature pony rides (first 30 rides were free), the Seco Mines Minerettes cheerleaders and CC Winn High School Maverick cheerleaders, a plate sale provided by the 4-H Southside Club, a DJ playing music and a live radio remote. The store also hosted a ribbon cutting ceremony at 7:45 a.m. on Saturday with members of the local Chamber of Commerce. Regular operating hours for the store, located at 2116 Town Square Blvd., are 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., Monday through Saturday, and 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Sunday.
