Shopko

Shopko was a multi-department retail chain that maintained a significant presence in the healthcare sector through its integrated pharmacy and optical divisions. Headquartered in Green Bay, Wisconsin, the company operated over 360 stores across 26 states, providing essential prescription services and professional eye care to rural and suburban communities. The healthcare segment was a core component of its business model, often serving as a primary health provider in underserved regions. Following a Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing in early 2019, Shopko liquidated its retail and pharmacy operations. However, its optical business was preserved and continues to operate as an independent provider of optometry services and eyewear. The company's pharmacy assets were largely acquired by major national chains such as Walgreens and CVS.
