Rural King opens its doors in the city of Columbus

COLUMBUS, Miss. (WCBI) – Area shoppers have a new place to go for their outdoor, lawn, and garden supplies.

Less than a year after announcing its plans for the former K-Mart location in Columbus, Rural King opened its doors on September 18.

This is the first Mississippi store for the Illinois-based farm and outdoor store.

Columbus and Lowndes County provided tax incentives to help bring Rural King to the city.

The company pumped an estimated $8 million into renovating the former K-Mart store on Highway 45.

It plans to lease out about 20,000 square feet of the space to another retailer.

Rural King is open from 7 am to 9 pm.

The store’s Grand Opening is set for September 26 through September 28.
