Tractor Supply Company in Clinton is having a soft opening Saturday.

Clinton City Administrator Tim Followell says they likely going to hold a grand opening event sometime soon, but this Saturday, folks can start filtering in and checking the newest retail store for DeWitt County.

The opening of the new retail location is almost a year to the date of the closing of Walmart in that same location. Followell says this is a big win for the community, adding 2019 has been a strong year for DeWitt County businesses.

Followell says the stroke of good fortune is about being in the right place at the right time, recognizing Clinton is very fortunate, especially when you compare the fate of other communities' retail spaces in recent years.
