Public invited to webinar on Shopko closure

Posted

The public is invited to participate in an upcoming webinar that will provide insight and recommendations to Wyoming communities that are losing their Shopko stores. Powell’s Shopko is set to shut down by June 16.

As part of its response, the Wyoming Business Council is hosting a webinar from 8:30-10 a.m. on June 6. To participate, register online at www.bit.ly/2M0Btw5.

In April, the Business Council partnered with local community leaders to host retail expert Matt Wagner from the National Main Street Center in the Big Horn Basin area. Wagner was tasked with using the Big Horn Basin — where four Shopko stores are closing — as a case study to inform his recommendations on mitigating the economic impact of the closures across the state. He toured the Basin, held focus groups and conducted surveys on the impact of Shopko’s departure.

Wagner will present his conclusions and recommendations at the June 6 webinar, with the goal of providing insight and tools to all the impacted communities in Wyoming.

There will be an opportunity for questions and answers at the end of the presentation.
