Rather than be a jack-of-all-retailing-trades across the country, Shopko Stores is content to concentrate on a limited product range in a few regions of the US. The company operates about 135 Shopko discount stores and half a dozen Shopko Express Rx drugstore outlets in about a dozen states throughout the Midwest, Mountain, and Pacific Northwest regions. Instead of offering a watered-down selection of many retail categories, it focuses on popular, higher-margin categories such as casual apparel, health and beauty items, and housewares. Most Shopko stores have optical centers and pharmacies. The company was taken private in 2005 by an affiliate of private investment firm Sun Capital Partners.
