The Cherokee Plaza soon will have a decidedly different look.

Tractor Supply Co., which bills itself as the largest retail farm and ranch store in the country, will locate a store in the shopping center. Several existing stores will relocate to make way for the large retail store.

The Goodwill store will relocate to the opposite end of the shopping center adjacent to Dollar General, according to plans submitted to the City of Gaffney building department.

Rent-A-Center will move to a new spot near Dollar General and Badcock Home Furnishings, the plans show.

Goodwill and the vacant theater will be razed to create space for the Tractor Supply Store.

The typical Tractor Supply store has 15,000- 24,000 square feet of inside selling space with a similar amount of outside space used to display agricultural fencing, livestock equipment and horse stalls, according to information on its Web site.

The store supplies items from welders and generators to animal care products and men and women's workwear.

The store also stocks pet supplies, animal feed, power tools, riding mowers and lawn and garden products.

Numerous attempts to reach Tractor Supply acquisition officials were unsuccessful.
