After a four-month liquidation sale and store conversion process, the former Pamida store in Madison has completed its conversion to Shopko Hometown and will celebrate with a grand opening event later this week.  The store will open its doors to the public as Shopko Hometown at 9:00 a.m. on Thursday, following an official ribbon cutting ceremony that will begin at 8:45 a.m. 
The grand opening event will be highlighted by a 25-hundred dollar check presentation to Madison High School from The Shopko Hometown Foundation prior to the ribbon cutting.  In addition, the first 100 customers in line on Thursday will receive a free ten-dollar Shopko gift card.  A number of prizes will also be given out throughout the event. 
The conversion from Pamida to Shopko Hometown came after the two companies announced a merger earlier this year.
