(NewsDakota.com) The newest retail outlet to Oakes and the surrounding area is scheduled to open in a little more than a week’s time.

Shopko Hometown will open on Friday, March 27 at 9 a.m. Various dignitaries, Oakes City Council members, Oakes Enhancement board members and Oakes Chamber members will take part in a ribbon cutting ceremony set for 8:45 a.m.

Shopko Hometown replaces Alco, which last year filed for bankruptcy, and closed its Oakes location earlier this year.
