Product Details & Size Guide
GhostCorp Apparel - resurrecting iconic corporate ghosts.
Show appreciation for a regional retail story with this Shopko-inspired heavy knit quarter-zip sweatshirt. The first Shopko store opened in Green Bay in 1962, beginning a chain that became part of shopping life across the Upper Midwest. The company’s changing name, connection with Pamida, and later Shopko Hometown stores add chapters for collectors to explore. Broad retail operations ended in 2019, making this a meaningful choice for former shoppers and anyone interested in department-store history.
Shopko began in 1962, when pharmacist James Ruben and investors opened the first ShopKo department store at 216 S. Military Avenue in Green Bay, Wisconsin. The chain expanded across Wisconsin and into Michigan, then merged with SuperValu in 1971. It became publicly traded in 1991. Shopko acquired regional discount retailer Pamida in 1999 and operated it as a separate division until 2007, when Pamida was reestablished as an independent company. Shopko was acquired by an affiliate of Sun Capital Partners in 2005 and changed its name from ShopKo Stores, Inc. to Shopko Stores, Inc. in 2007. Pamida and Shopko merged again in 2012, and many former Pamida stores became Shopko Hometown locations. The company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy on January 16, 2019, and announced that all remaining stores would close that March. Retail operations ended on June 23, 2019. Shopko Optical locations continued operating; the optical business was later acquired by Fielmann AG.
