Shopko will close all of its stores by June and some local shoppers are weighing in.
Julie Foate of Hortonville was at the Northland Mall store in Appleton yesterday. She says it’s a sad situation, and there’s things you can buy at Shopko you can’t get at other stores.
Other locations that are closing are in Oshkosh, Fond du Lac, and two in the Green Bay area. The Ashwaubenon-based retailer was founded in 1962.
Shopko is going through bankruptcy proceedings. There were announcements over the past few months that some stores would be closing. Company leaders had hoped to find a buyer to keep the remaining ones open.
