Hi Matt, welcome to the forum.

Is Lehigh selling coal to Tractor Supply Company that they in turn are rebranding into TSC bags?

Post by **LehighanthraciteMatt** » Fri. Sep. 30, 2016 10:21 am

No, we did sell some coal to tractor supply in our brand bags.

And thank your for having me

I saw your bagged coal at the Saint Clair Tractor Supply Company this morning.

Unless we flood out, I plan on coming up and getting 2 ton of the nut size coal tomorrow.

Free coffee and donuts again?

Do you have plans to distribute your bagged coal further than the coal mine region? I ask because your bagged coal seems to be about the cheapest high quality coal that is bagged and I live 1000 miles away. TSC isnt carrying in all the stores here and im betting will be done in this region after this year now that they arent selling a name brand. Other than TSC, bagged Blaschak is available locally and thats it, $300/ton.

they could sell mountains of nut and stove here in northern indiana if they could set up even one dealer. I know alot of people who have been burning coal since the early 80's and sorely miss Lehigh coal

You should go to your dealers and specifically request it, that's the fastest way to get them to consider it

I gave quotes to a few dealers in Indiana in the past few days, maybe we will get some out there.

Hey Matt,
Great to hear from you.
This will be my second year burning Lehigh Rice
This coal has given no problems, even burning all through the summer in New York we saw temps. as high as 90+.
Just got a 20 ton delivery and it looks great, and by that I will assume it as good as the 10 ton from last year.
Great coal keep up the good work

If I land the dealers I will let you know, but as I said before the easiest way to get dealers to carry our coal is customers request it. many carry what they carry because they think that is what the customer wants.
