The leader of Appleton says the closing of Shopko stores is especially sad because it’s a local company.
The Northland Mall location in the city is on the final list of ones that are shutting down.
Mayor Tim Hanna says unfortunately it’s a sign of the times. He says the city will help market the site.
Hanna believes it’s an opportunity for people to reflect on how they shop. He thinks people need to ask if they want to go online for convenience or support local stores.
