=== 1980s === In 1983β1985, ShopKo opened a few new locations in a few converted former [[Copps Department Store]]s, including [[Fond du Lac, Wisconsin]], and [[Fort Atkinson, Wisconsin]]. This was in response to Copps refocusing their efforts on their supermarket business and to make it less of a prime target for shoplifting. In 1988, a new corporate headquarters opened in Ashwaubenon by the [[Bay Park Square Mall]].The company hit $1 billion ({{Inflation|index=US-GDP|value=1000000000|start_year=1988|r=-6|fmt=eq}}) in sales on the strength of 87 stores in 1988.<ref name=appaSearch /> In February 1989, ShopKo and SuperValu introduce [[Twin Valu]], a hypermarket concept, in [[Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio]], combining the general merchandise of ShopKo with the grocery selection of [[Cub Foods]].<ref>{{cite news| url=http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m3092/is_n6_v28/ai_7478529/| archive-url=https://archive.today/20120711074345/http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m3092/is_n6_v28/ai_7478529/| url-status=dead| archive-date=July 11, 2012| title=ShopKo's Twin Valu hypermarket debuts| first=Peter| last=Hisey| magazine=Discount Store News| date=March 20, 1989| access-date=November 24, 2024}}</ref>
