Tractor Supply Company Coming to White Lake Township

White Lake Township will soon be getting a Tractor Supply Company (TSC).

The new business will be going in at the current Blue Duck bar location at 10150 Highland Rd.

"We did a store not too long ago in Lyon Township," TSC property owner Chris Kettler said. "Geographically, based on customers in the area, it's the next logical place for a tractor supply."

Last week, the White Lake Township Planning Commission approved TSC's final site plan, as well as a special land use amendment for their outdoor storage component. 

Township Planning Director Sean O'Neil said that the next step is to approve the construction plan, which is done at the staff level. 

Kettler said the company doesn't yet own the property, but it is under a contract to purchase and he expects to close on it within the next month. 

The plan is for the current building to either be demolished or moved, so TSC can be developed on that piece of property. 

"We've entertained and talked with White Lake Township fire department on whether they would like to use it for training purposes," Kettler said. 

The construction start date is set for late April, according to Kettler.

With a 20-week construction period, the new building should be finished by mid-September. Then the store should open in October.
