Stores, Inc., www.shopko.com, ("ShopKo")
completed its acquisition of Pamida, Inc.,
www.pamida.com, ("Pamida") and assumed
PI's referenced NNN leases.
PI Executive Vice President
Frank P. Crivello stated: "ShopKo's
acquisition of Pamida creates many potential
synergies for the combined company. We believe
the acquisition improves the combined company's
competitive position. We continue to explore
options to expand these properties in the
markets we serve."
PI's affiliates own the individual shopping
centers. The new ShopKo shopping centers are as
follows:
Pamida One, LLC (1600 US Highway 2, West
Libby, MT)
Pamida Two, LLC (205 Boyd Avenue, Newcastle,
WY)
Pamida Three, LLC (100 Texas Trail Drive,
Ogallala, NE)

this acquisition and believes it strengthens the
competitive position of ShopKo as Pamida's
successor. Pamida Inc. enjoyed a strong market
share in the niche markets it served; we are
hopeful ShopKo can improve upon this strong
market share. Many of these niche markets are
too small for competitors such as Wal-Mart,
www.walmart.com. We are pleased to work with
ShopKo."
