Shopko Grand Opening set

| September 12, 2012 12:00 PM

After a four-month liquidation sale and store conversion process, the former Pamida store in Libby has completed its much anticipated conversion to Shopko Hometown.

A Grand Opening is scheduled 9 a.m. Thursday, after a ribbon-cutting ceremony at 8:45 a.m.

The public is invited to join the Shopko team and community leaders for the event.

The grand opening event will be highlighted by a $2,500 check presentation to Libby High School from The Shopko Hometown Foundation prior to the ribbon cutting.  

In addition, the first 100 customers in line on Thursday will receive a free $10 Shopko gift card.  A number of prizes also will be given out through “register to win” events.  

Customers also will be encouraged to sign up for Shopko’s My Extra Savings rewards program to receive exclusive savings each week, 10 percent off on their birthday and special email announcements and offers.  

Every customer who uses their My Extra Savings card on the day of the Grand Opening will be entered into a drawing for a $1,000 shopping spree. Refreshments will be served inside the store.

“There has been a great deal of excitement in the community through the conversion process and we’re excited to finally be bringing the Shopko Hometown experience to Libby,” said Paul Jones, Shopko President, Chairman and CEO.  

“I’m confident that loyal Pamida customers and new customers alike will love what they see and appreciate the great merchandise selection, brands, value and service.”

Shopko Hometown combines Shopko’s strong reputation of customer service with a broad and dynamic offering of strong national brands and high-value private label brands of apparel, home furnishings, toys, consumer electronics, seasonal items, and lawn and garden products – all in attractive, well laid out, easy-to-shop store formats that range from 15,000 to 35,000-square-feet.
