LA CROSSE, Wis. (WKBT) – The Shopko in Bridgeview Plaza on the north side of La Crosse is slated to close. News 8 incorrectly reported previously that Bridgeview Plaza was on the south side.
Right now, the only location that is confirmed to News 8 is closing on the north side.
According to La Crosse City Council member Andrea Richmond , liquidation sale signs will go up at the Bridgeview Plaza store Thursday
On Wednesday, a drugstore to Shopko said the Wisconsin-based retail chain is expected to file for bankruptcy next week.
McKesson Corp. says it supplied Shopko with $ 67 million in drugs since Nov. 11 but has not been paid since early December. McKesson this week asked a judge for a restraining order to keep Shopko from selling the medications it has supplied. McKesson attorney Jeff Garfinkle said during a court hearing that Shopko was expected to file for bankruptcy protection Jan. 15.
Press-Gazette Media says Shopko attorney Stephen Hackney says a restraining order would require the retailer to close their stores and would harm patients who need the medications.
Brown County Circuit Judge William Atkinson rejected McKesson's request. Neither Shopko, nor its parent company, Sun Capital Partners, returned calls for comment.
