Broadway District Welcomes Shopko Express and the Green Bay Area Chamber of Commerce


The first downtown location for Shopko Express opened on November 1. This is the first downtown location for Shopko Express, a pharmacy and convenience store. “We believe in supporting communities, and hope to be the cornerstone of the Larsen Green Development,” said Michael MacDonald, Chairman and CEO of Shopko, who officiated at the Grand Opening celebration on November 8. The store will employ 25 full-time and part-time employees.

Also moving in to the building on the corner of Broadway and Walnut is the Green Bay Area Chamber of Commerce. They officially moved into their offices on the third floor on November 5, and held a time capsule burial in conjunction with the Shopko Express ribbon-cutting. The new building will provide the Chamber with more space than they had at their 400 S. Washington St. location, where they had been for 50 years. The chamber will occupy 8,500 sq ft of the 13,000 sq ft on the third floor, and is seeking a tenant for the remaining space. The second floor of the building is also available. The new space will also allow greater efficiency, and help the Chamber help the area grow its businesses. Twenty of the chamber’s 25 employees will be on Broadway; the other five are at the Advance business center at NWTC.

“Both Shopko Express and the Chamber of Commerce moving to this district really puts a stamp on how far we’ve come,” On Broadway’s Executive Director, Kelly Czypinski said.

Shopko Express hours are: (REGULAR) M-F 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m., Sat 8:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. and Sun 8:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. (PHARMACY) M-F 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m., Sat 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. and Sun 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.
