The opening of Agco main dealer Chandlers new Country Store at its Shefford, Beds depot was celebrated in late June.
This brings the number of Chandlers Country Stores to seven, each of which is based at its agricultural machinery depots.

“We supply a wide range of rural, pet and equine products to suit our local customers, including, dog and cat feed, small holder feed ranges, equine products for the rider and horse – along with Country Clothing and boots, power tools from Milwaukie, powered garden tools and mowers from Honda & Stihl and much much more. It’s said that we well everything from a ‘tin tack to a tractor’, explained Chandlers (Farm Equipment Ltd) managing director Gavin Pell.
The new Country Store includes plenty of showroom space for farm supplies and sundries, spare parts, and workshop and maintenance equipment.
“The new Country Store is approximately six miles west of Biggleswade and serves customers from Biggleswade to Hitchin. Our very successful opening event on Saturday 22nd June attracted more than 200 customers for a day of family fun, and included free tea and cake and we were joined in the evening by our local farming customers for a hog roast and VIP tour of the redeveloped depot and new Country Stores.”
