Talk:Pamida

In Sullivan, Illinois there was a Pamida store then it was closed then re-opend as a ShopKo. Soon after it was closed for good due to lack of sales and very high prices. The store under both names sucked.

There is no Pamida here in Oskaloosa. If there ever was, I don't know when they left. Archola 08:34, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

Pamida was
The Pamida store was where the sears store is now. Out by the new Walmart supercenter.

"Niche" retailer
Pamida is what is known as a "niche" retailer. It is really not a "department store" in the traditional sense but rather a smaller "mass merchandiser"; its stores resemble nothing so much as smaller Wal-marts. IMHO they are brilliant to concentrate on towns too small to be of much interest to Wal-Mart, Kmart, or Target but large enough to be plenty of market for that type of store on a smaller scale.

Regarding the Knoxville closing
I work in Knoxville, IA at KNIA/KRLS, a small market radio station. I noticed that one of my co-workers put out an ad for the liquidation of the Knoxville Pamida's merchandise because they were closing.

My point is, I'll get a solid source up when I get a chance. Gyrapage 14:11, 04 June 2006
