As the two Shopko stores in St. Cloud wrap-up their last days of business, work is underway to find buyers for the buildings. St. Cloud Economic Development Director Cathy Mahelich was on the News @ Noon Show talking about their future.
Shopko has announced the closure of six more stores in Wisconsin. The Wisconsin-based retailer announced late last year that it was closing 39 stores in 19 states by the end of February.
One of the two Shopko pharmacies in St. Cloud is closing. Spokeswoman Michelle Hansen says Shopko's St. Cloud East Pharmacy will be closing. The pharmacy files will be transferred to CVS. A sign inside the store says their last day is January 2nd.
