Shopko Grand Opening set

October 1, 2016

Shopko has announced that it will open a new Shopko Hometown store located at 6355 Main Street on October 14. Shopko Hometown provides local residents a convenient new community-focused shopping experience that features essential name-brand items. Shopko Hometown combines Shopko’s strong reputation for health services and customer service with a broad and dynamic offering of national brands and private label brands at a great value. Product offerings include clothing, home furnishings, toys, consumer electronics, seasonal items and lawn and garden products – all in attractive, well laid out, easy-to-shop store format. “The excitement surrounding our grand opening isn’t just about the products we sell, it’s about making life easier for the customers we are privileged to serve,” said Peter McMahon, Shopko CEO. “It’s about the stuff that counts – the essentials that help people get ready for work or school or to enjoy the weekend with family and friends.” A special grand opening event, highlighted by a $2,500 check presentation to Bonners Ferry High School by the Shopko Foundation, will take place at 7:45 a.m. All residents are invited to join the Shopko team and community leaders for the event. For those who can’t wait for the grand opening celebration, the store will be open to customers starting on October 2. “At Shopko Hometown, we understand that we’re simply part of the larger community,” said McMahon. “That’s why we support local organizations, such as schools and 501(c)(3) organizations, that are vital to the well-being and future growth of the community.” The first 100 customers in line will receive a free $10 Shopko gift card. A number of prizes will also be given out through “register to win” events. Customers will also be encouraged to sign up for Shopko’s loyalty program to receive exclusive mailers, $10 off on their birthday and special email announcements and offers. Every customer who uses their loyalty member 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. The store will be open daily from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. The pharmacy will be open Monday – Friday from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m., Saturday 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Having opened 53 stores in 2015 and 22 thus far in 2016, including the Bonners Ferry location, Shopko is projecting continued growth over the next two years with the expected opening of additional stores in markets across the country.
