PROFILE |
 |
Pamida Holdings offers more small-town values than a bandwagon of Republicans on the campaign trail. A subsidiary of Shopko Stores, it runs about 230 Pamida general merchandise discount stores in 15 midwestern, north central, and Rocky Mountain states. Pamida stores, which average 30,000 sq. ft., are located in small towns (5,500 people, on average), most of which are not served by mass merchandisers such as Wal-Mart. The company's stores sell brand-name and private-label apparel, jewelry, health and beauty aids, housewares, electronics, and lawn and garden supplies. Most of its stores also sell grocery items and about 60 stores have pharmacies. Discount retailer Shopko acquired Pamida in 1999.
