It is, however, the proverbial big fish in a small pond, that is, in literally hundreds of small ponds across the U.S. Founded in 1962, the chain had till recently operated more than 360 stores in 26 states, from the Midwest to the Pacific Northwest. As it <a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/shopko-outlines-post-bankruptcy-footprint\/\">goes through Chapter 11 reorganization<\/a>, Shopko appears likely to emerge with only about one-third as many stores, just 124 in 11 states.<\/p>\n<p>For the most part, Shopko has focused its portfolio in the Midwest and the Mountain States. Historically, \u201c<em>they have been more receptive to small markets in this region as compared to their competitors, except for Walmart<\/em>,\u201d Jeff Green, partner at Hoffman Strategy Group in Phoenix, told <em>Commercial Property Executive<\/em>. In relatively larger markets, they\u2019ve typically gone into power centers, while in smaller markets the chain is more likely to have freestanding stores, he said.<\/p>\n<p>Shopko\u2019s typical locations, in traditionally underserved secondary and tertiary markets in Middle America, were generally too small for a competitor to occupy alongside Shopko, added Tom Mullaney, managing director of restructuring services for JLL. This \u201c<em>spatial monopoly<\/em>\u201d was a significant advantage, he said, though Shopko often was a \u201c<em>me-too competitor<\/em>,\u201d without much, if anything, to distinguish the chain, even before the arrival of online shopping. For all that e-commerce has been a game-changer in retailing nationwide, Mullaney added, it might be even more important for residents of rural areas than for those in sizable metros, where multiple retail options offer access to abundant stock keeping units.<\/p>\n<p>Since the company\u2019s 2005 acquisition by Sun Capital Partners Inc., Shopko has piled up \u201c<em>a skyscraper of debt on a matchbox of equity<\/em>,\u201d not unlike the situation the late <a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/the-toy-story-that-ended-in-chapter-11\/\">Toys R Us<\/a> found itself in, Mullaney said. The fact that interest rates have gone up 150 basis points in a year has been another factor in Shopko\u2019s woes.<\/p>\n<p>Shopko declined to provide additional information requested by <em>Commercial Property Executive<\/em>.<\/p>\n<h2>What\u2019s next<\/h2>\n<p>The discount department store space has been consolidated into two major players\u2014Walmart and Target\u2014Green said, as others, such as Gordmans, Kmart and Shopko, have struggled. The dollars from Shopko have primarily shifted to other discounters, most notably Target and Walmart, he added, though some other chains, such as off-price retailers Burlington Coat Factory, Ross, Nordstrom Rack and Marshalls, have also benefitted from Shopko\u2019s decline.<\/p>\n<p>A typical full-size Shopko store of 75,000 to 150,000 square feet leans toward redevelopment of space and should be more demisable, Mullaney said, though in smaller markets, that\u2019s hard to predict. One possibility is that a store that size could be a smaller format for Target or Walmart. The Shopko Hometown stores of around 10,000 to 20,000 square feet might be an awkward box size, he added. Even so, there might be opportunities. Mullaney noted that \u201c<em>Walgreens is always testing<\/em>\u201d and currently is experimenting with a format as small as 1,500 to 2,500 square feet.<\/p>\n<p>Shopko had a compelling story in the \u201970s, but maybe in the 2010s it no longer does, he said. \u201c<em>Everybody competes with them. It\u2019s a death of a thousand cuts <\/em>\u2026 <em>I\u2019m not sure there\u2019s a second act here for Shopko<\/em>,\u201d Mullaney concluded. If the chain goes under, \u201c<em>it will be sad, but it won\u2019t be totally surprising.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>Images courtesy of&nbsp;<\/em><em>Hoffman Strategy Group and&nbsp;<\/em><em>JLL&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hoffman Strategy Group\u2019 Jeff Green and JLL\u2019s Tom Mullaney weigh in on the company\u2019s Chapter 11 filing and possible outcomes for its stores\u2019 current locations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":882,"featured_media":1004300531,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[21808,23891,21742,21744,21749],"tags":[44201,36504,32796,34663],"class_list":["post-1004300519","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-featured","category-national","category-latest","category-people","category-retail","tag-hoffman-strategy-group","tag-jeff-green","tag-jll","tag-shopko"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v28.0 (Yoast SEO v28.0) -
