Pretty cool place to get associated farm stuff, they have a sporting goods area that sells guns ammo, bows and related item. They boast cheapest prices on car batteries but beware they may not last long. Im getting ready to take one back and trying to charge another to see if itll come back. They have popcorn and coffee which is good and bad the carts can be greasy at the handles, before covid they didnt have cart cleaning and it was annoying to grab a cart that was nasty. I hope they keep that in place. People are usually very friendly and helpful, if youve never been its worth a visit, perhaps for my needs anyway on par or a bit above with tractor supply, however both places are good.

Only reason I gave it 2 stars was the location.. Absolutely no organization what so ever, bare isles and even if you could find anyone working there to help trying to find anything they had no idea where it would be. Theres an hour of my life I wont get back that was wasted!!

Today was the first time that I shopped at Rural King. The store in Spring Hill is nothing fancy but thats not why I was there. I was there to buy wild bird seed, peanuts for my wild squirrels and I got an added bonus, a hummingbird feeder !!! They have just about everything to feed all of the wild animals that I have in my backyard on a daily basis. I absolutely love the place !!! Their prices are fair and I love the fact that I can buy everything I need in one convenient place. They have a variety of items to purchase. They sell food for animals, food for humans, tools, fencing, even clothes. I wish that I had not walked by all of the live, baby chics. It made me want one, or two or three or more so badly, but I cant have them in the neighborhood that I live in 😥. So, all in all it was a great shopping experience and I will definitely be back, probably on a bi-weekly basis. Fun, fun, fun !!!

I love Rural King. I always walk into this place looking for something specific but come out wanting to grow something, hunt something, or repair something. None of which is in my normal skill set bit I feel adds to the charm of this place. Becuase of the rural feed store quality to this place it sometimes feel disorganized and cluttered, but that may also be a result of diminished staffing. Over all I had a good experience the employees I interacted with were helpful, friendly, and funny, even if they were a tad understaffed - which btw, if you are looking for a job they have a sign out front that says they are hiring.

We live near a wildlife reserve and went to rural king to get feed for the deer that come into our yard. The staff was very helpful and suggested two types. We purchased one they had suggested which was sugar beet crush and that evening we placed several small piles through out our yard. Within less than an hour we had 6 deer eating them. We had to laugh because they all looked like Rudolph with their noses red from the beets. It was a wonderful experience.

I had some of the best service today by some really great employees at rural king. Connie, Harley, the manager and the woman who worked the curtiesy desk.. I have not always had the best service there but today made up for the not so good service in the past. Keep up the good work. 👍

Dixie atbthe firearms counter was just phenominal! Handling all the waiting customers, including myself with a lot of pleasurable proffessionalism! She is definately a keeper! Hey management! Although Dixie handled everything behind the firearms counter. SHE COULD USE SOME DAMN HELP BACK THERE! Cmon!!!!!! I seen plenty of potential purchasing customers, just get tired of waiting and left. And it surely was not in the least Dixies fault whatsoever. She was doing the very best she could. And kept apologizing to everyone that was waiting. This isnt the first time I have been in your store there. And it always seems to be only 1 employee working the firearms counter. Cmon now management! Get it together! When your new ad starts. You have to realize you are going to get more foot traffic into your store. So start scheduling some extra employees for this. Its not rocket science!

I love Rural King for their wide selection of stuff. They have a decent selection of local like foods and condiments. What I mean by that is they have a bunch of brands from smaller companies and I like that. Prepare to wait when checking out, you may get lucky and the line may move fast but that doesnt usually happen to me. But be patient because the staff is doing the best they can.

This place is awesome! You can get so many different things from Rural King. From animal supplies, guns, ammo, and fishing, snacks, clothing and boots, tools. This is a one stop shop for everything outdoor and farm related. The staff are super nice, and helpful. I always try and make a stop here when Im in Hudson, even just to browse. Great store!

Lori in seasonal was an exceptional employee that went out of her way to help my grandma and mother find the canopy that was on sale. Lori went out of her way to make sure we were taken care of and we got the two canopies promptly. Ty Lori for taking care of us hope you take care and see you again!

It’s a nice place with a variety of everything, but at the same time they are out of so much it’s almost not worth the drive to see if they even have what you’re looking for. If they could keep stock, it would probably be my favorite store.

Weve been shopping at this Rural King since it opened, when it became THE first Rural King store in Florida.Weve purchased lots of equine/dog/cat feed and supplies, farm hardware and I even bought my first Hobart Wire Welder there. Even though this store was quite a bit farther away from us than our usual feed stores, we would still make the trip.Ill get right to the point now about the current situations at this Rural King. There has been a gradual decrease in the quality of the shopping experience over the last few years. THIS started before the pandemic crunch.1. The Parking Lot - on busy days, especially the weekend, the parking lot is a nightmare. Especially if youre in a large pickup OR have a trailer in tow.Parking spaces can be hard to get, or hard to access.First, it was the weekend farmers market at the West end. Then, the rows of farm equipment. Then they added tractors, for a while.And on and on and on.2. The Entry Door - currently is out of order. SO, EVERYBODY must use the same EXIT doors to enter and leave. So much for Social Distancing.I see SO many folks walking towards the Entry door, only to read the tiny sign and have to go to the Exit.3, The Aisles - tall pallets of merchandise are crowded along the full length of the main aisles. Big racks of merchandise crowded around the Check Out lines, making it difficult at times.Like a Walmart the day before Black Friday.In the aisles, there are few places where you can cross over, which Im sure the Fire Marshal would not be happy about.PLUS, again, so much for Social Distancing when there is oncoming foot traffic.4. General disarray - the shelves are a mess in most departments. Product is laying around, on the floor, in the wrong bin or shelf or wrong department. There are trip hazards and dangers lurking everywhere. Two days ago, I had to virtually catch an older gentleman who was trying to squeeze past me and another shopper, only to trip over 3 white buckets sitting on the floor.So much danger. So much confusion. Youd think that stocking and product display would be even easier with the reduced inventory most stores are handling due to the pandemic.5. Hit or Miss Help - it seems like I always see employees in a huddle of two or three. When asked for help, most are courteous and glad to help. BUT, I have witnessed on a few occasions where the employee was not helpful or even borderline rude. My last visit I asked an employee if the store had any more of this one hardware item I was trying to buy in bulk. The response? No. Did you look in the other bins? You might find one misplaced.So much for customer service.I will close by saying that I intend on staying loyal to Rural King.In a sense, we need them as much as they need us.But I find it difficult to believe that the above mentioned irregularities cannot be addressed and tweaked to instill a much more comfortable AND favorable shopping experience for all....

Big store with everything from farm supplies to clothing and landscape decorations. Also got a top notch gun counter for the firearm aficionados. I feel the need to point out that Rural King has NOT raised their prices on their guns OR their ammunition through out this last year of craziness. They are the only store, brick and mortar or online, that I have found that has not done so. This speaks to their dedication to their customers. Sure its hard to find anything these days, but I know when I shop there Im not gonna get ripped off under the guise of covid. Though they didnt have the transom straps I needed for my boat and trailer the other day. . .

Ive been shopping at this specific Rural King store for several years now. Its not fancy but it is clean with very friendly folks working there.They have a very large selection of mens jeans, though the womens section is a bit lacking in comparison. While the jeans prices are very reasonable, the brand name shirts and jackets are very expensive.For gardening and farming, the selection is adequate: better than Walmart, better than Home Depot/Lowes (depending on what you are looking for) but lacking compared to the feed & seed stores I grew up with. Nevertheless, there are a lot of things you can find here that you would otherwise have to order online.The food aisles are a real treat. Some of what they carry are the throwback brands while others are hard-to-find or regional brands that you wont locate elsewhere. For example, they carry Cheerwine (though it seems to be sold out right now.)They have a gun counter, though it is pretty much sold out of everything. Their prices (when in stock) tend to be pretty good.As I mentioned above, the staff is great. They might be a bit harried on a Saturday afternoon, but in the morning and evenings, they are a real pleasure to have assist you.

My new favorite store! Was a city girl now living in the country with chickens and everything! Makes me feel like a true cowgirl being in here! Prices are great, staff is awesome 🤩, and they have everything from fishing equipment, live worms, guns, gardening supply, candy and snacks, outdoor furniture and fun, cat and dog supplies, clothes etc etc! I even got me a tractor supply brown hat to top things off! Im here to represent! LOVE THIS STORE ❤️

Rural King was very busy. I found everything, I was looking for plus more. I was greeted and offered a Rural King credit card, but I declined to sign up for one, because Id rather pay cash. It was nice and cool in the store as I roamed through the aisles. The smell of popcorn was through the air, as I purchased a bag just before leaving the store. The sales people, if you can find one, was helpful and polite.

Review №58

This location is on our agenda about twice a month. There’s typically things in stock here, you just can’t find anywhere. Local type selections on rural style foods is a big bonus however I’ve noticed that they have their own branding hitting the shelves on things like the jar vanilla peaches…. Don’t do that RK - it looks like you’ve stolen someone else’s recipes and created it yourself to make more on the buck. Since the pandemic I’ve noticed the inventory in the store start to dwindle - this isn’t specific to just Rural King but it’s very apparent here over other retailers. They’ve clearly cut the staff back to react to business trends but, I’m not sure that’s worked in your favor other than saving on the bottom line. The store is a wreck from a cleanliness perspective and seeing through empty shelves doesn’t help. What’s more concerning to me is that I’m one of those guys who looks for the sales items, y’all are trying to save money and so are a majority of your customers. Explain this new best practice you guys have of marking up your sale prices? And the sheer laziness behind it is pathetic. Example: summer seasonal is starting to wind out thus all retailers are moving those items from their sales floors. Y’all have decided to cover up the clearance stickers (in some cases) with new prices reflecting higher pricing. If you were lucky to hit the sticker at all. Some items had the lower price sticker not even covered by the higher price sticker. When asking an associate what the price actually was, we were told that management “just raised the prices”. I’ve worked in retail a long time and completely understand price changes but I’d never allow my teams to not remove/replace up charges. It’s bad business and creates dissatisfaction for the customer and disengagement for your store team that are brow beat over the pricing debacle. Not exactly sure what’s going on in this location from a management perspective but someone needs to get things addressed. Everyone can’t keep using the pandemic as an excuse for poor business practices, it’s going to catch up and be hard to rectify. Please send help to this store so our community can continue to enjoy shopping here.

I have always been a tractor supply customer, not any more. I wish I had more time because this store has everything. I went for dog food because the price was considerably lower than any other place Ive got my diamond dog food. I got a big bag of biscuits for 4.00. My pups were happy when I came home. Will definitely go back when I have more time.

Was fourth on line this morning when the store opens. They had about100 boxes of 9mm ammunition on a table. Two guys in front me had baskets, blocked the table and loaded the baskets with the ammo. They are the reason there is an ammo shortage. RK needs to go back to rationing the ammo. the one guy was bragging about how he just calls corporate and that RK is afraid of him. Sad state we are in.

This has to be the worst Rural King ever. I seldom come here. Today I went there and the store had a smell to it. I went to get some fertilizer which all the bags were wet for some reason. Just thrown about, I ran across a mouse on the floor. They let all sort of animals in the store and when then urinate they clean it with a paper towel only ( maybe ) keep in mind they sell regular food there too. As usual the check out lines where very long. There were employees standing around explaining why the lines were long ( thanks ) . I just wish I could give it zero stars
