When its lease expires at the end of April, Tulsa Feed Inc,. Tulsa, OK — a 97-year-old north Tulsa business that supplies the Tulsa Zoo, the city animal shelter and countless individual pet owners and backyard gardeners — must close or relocate from its site.
According toTulsa World, the store, which leases the property from BNSF Railroad, must go to make way for a railroad expansion.
It’s located alongside the tracks because it was part of a former feed mill, which operated for decades at the site.
In fact, the operation began in 1922 as the Sanders-Barnard Mill & Elevator Co. and catered to local farmers.
