Farm and Home Supply Opens in Lincoln

 

[January 03, 2022] 

Farm & Home Supply is excited to announce that the company has acquired three Big R Stores located in Lincoln, Springfield, and Taylorville. Farm & Home Supply plans to turn the Lincoln (1501 Woodlawn Drive) and Taylorville (1160 E 1500 N Road) locations into Farm & Home Supply stores. The Springfield Big R (2804 N Dirksen Parkway) will be temporarily closed and will eventually be reopened as the new Springfield East location for Farm & Home Supply.

All three stores will be remodeled, beginning right away in the Lincoln location. In addition to being remodeled, both the Springfield and Taylorville locations will be enlarged in the coming year to provide more space for new products and services.

Both Lincoln and Taylorville will carry major brands such as Carhartt, Cub Cadet, DeWalt, Milwaukee, Stihl, Under Armour, and much more. The stores will include full service small engine repair centers and in-store/curbside pick-up areas.

To start, store hours for both locations will be Monday through Saturday, 8:00 a.m. to 6 p.m. and closed Sunday.

Lincoln store hours will change in the first quarter to Monday through Saturday, 7:30 a.m. to 8 p.m. and Sunday, 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Taylorville store hours will also change in the first quarter and will be Monday through Saturday, 8:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. and Sunday, 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.

Owner Adam Bowles is thrilled to be expanding the Farm & Home Supply company further into central Illinois. “We are grateful that we can expand the Farm & Home Supply name into these wonderful communities. We’re excited to provide a wide selection of products and services that customers in the areas count on us for,” said Bowles.

Grand Opening dates will be announced at a later time.
