Retailing To-do: | edit   Here are some tasks you can do: Requests: WikiProject Retailing userbox Copyedit: Target Corporation, Wal-Mart - to be used as an examples for ideal page structure Cleanup: Listings of store locations Expand: Store manager, List of articles on project page, image gallery on project page, Hypermarket (history section), Category killer - This is very US/Canada centric - Ikea exists elsewhere, too. Stubs: Wal-Mart Neighborhood Market, Archer Farms, ClearRx Other: Department store - discriminate between itself and Discount store. Category killer - If a Category Killer dominates its area, why are there many stores listed per category? There should be clear criteria for when a store is included, otherwise this just becomes an advertising page.

Bay Park Square, a mall that has a ShopKo store in it. This may be the worst sentence on Wikipedia, or at least the worst excuse to link to something.

[edit] Payless Shoes

Anyone feel like writing a ditty about Payless Shoes replacing the previous JBI leased shoe dept in May-June 2000? Tomer ^TALK 06:31, Jun 26, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Red, White & Blue ShopKo Logo

I searched for images of the red, white and blue ShopKo logo on Google and came acrossed a few to replace the green and white logo used on this website.

Here are some that I found:

• [1]
• [2]
• [3]
• [4]

I vote for either #1 or #2. Tomer^talk 03:04, 26 January 2006 (UTC)

Looking on the web site, it looks like the green logo is the one currently being used on the web site - it looks like the white logo is the one used on most communications made by the company. So I moved the color logo to another portion of the logo, and put the green and white logo near the top.

[edit] Business type

Why does it say that ShopKo is a private business? Unless I misunderstand the meaning of the word "private" in this context, last I checked (OK, so I quit in 2000), ShopKo was a publicly traded company. Tomer^talk 05:10, 20 February 2006 (UTC)

Alright, I take it back...to quote from http://www.shopko.com/about/, "In 1991, ShopKo Stores Inc. became a publicly-held, independent company with stock traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “SKO”. In December of 2005, ShopKo Stores, Inc. became a wholly owned subsidiary of Sun Capital Partners, Inc. and no longer was a publicly-owned corporation." Tomer^talk 05:14, 20 February 2006 (UTC)
