History

W.C. Orscheln opened the first Orscheln Farm & Home store in Sedalia, Missouri, in 1960.[1] Jerry Orscheln took over the business in the mid-1960s.[2]

The company operates a distribution center in Moberly, Missouri, and in January 2015 acquired a distribution center in Abilene, Kansas, formerly used by the defunct ALCO Stores retail chain.[3] Company president Stephen Chick said the acquisition of the Abilene distribution center means the company is "poised to double the number of Orscheln Farm and Home retail stores as we continue our growth and expansion."[3]
