PROFILE |
 |
If Old MacDonald had the help of Quality Stores, he might have been able to handle more than a cow, a cat, a duck, and a hen. The largest farming goods retailer in the US, the company operates more than 370 retail stores in 33 states. It was formed in 1999 by the combination of #2 specialty farming goods retailer Central Tractor Farm & Country and #3 Quality Stores. The company's stores, which are being converted to the Quality Farm & Country name, sell tractor parts, fencing, animal supplies, work wear, and hardware; it also sells online and via catalog. The company is owned by investment firm J.W. Childs Associates (nearly 40%), Quality Stores' founding family and employees (31%), and Fenway Partners (20%).
