But it's just Shopko

from flickr user Sponge 1987
I've seen some fairly ugly Shopko stores in my day. They used to all be ugly. But now the Green Baw, Wi-based retailer has stepped things up. Phased out in the past few years was the horrible Crillee-based logo. But things have changed. The logo is new as of 2007 as is the store's interior and exterior color scheme and this store in particular, in North Branch, MN, is actually appealing and welcoming. Almost makes me miss being a Shopko shopper.
