    First time in a Rural King tonight.
    :dex:

    Wow! Makes TSC look like a bunch of amateurs!!!
    I cannot believe how big that place is!
    Easily 6 times the size of TSC.

    Three brands of mowers
    A full Stihl display
    Rifles and handguns

    Looked to be about 100,000 sq ft

    We just got our closest TSC opened right before xmas. This was a treat because we would have had to travel quite a ways to get to one. Now your telling me there's something better?

    Not been to one yet as too far away but we also have Family Farm and Home along with TSC here. The newer FF&H seems to be outdoing TSC so not sure what is going to happen.

    We just got a RK in my town. Previously, it was around 45 min drive to nearest. We have had TSC for about 10 years. I prefer RK personally. Comparing the two here, RK is more of a "general store" where TSC is more geared towards farmers/landowners. I say this due to the extensive amount of gates, fencing, and equipment on site at our TSC store. Not to say that RK doesn't have these items, it just seems that TSC has more of them and has narrowed focus on their clientele. Our RK is roughly 3 times the size of our TSC store. We got a Harbor Freight last year too, but I have never been there.

    RK is awesome! Its a TSC on steroids. Plus they have free popcorn and let dogs in the store! My dog loves to terrorize the poor rabbits in the cages and eat all the popcorn off the floors :)
