Shopko on Wednesday announced plans to close its stores in Glenwood and Missouri Valley after it announced in January that is would shutter its stores in Clarinda and Onawa.

General merchandise retailer Shopko filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on Jan. 16 and said it would close more than 100 stores as part of its reorganization plan.

The troubled company had announced the closing of more than 60 stores prior to the bankruptcy filing and added 38 stores at the time of the filing.

When the company filed for Chapter 11 protection in January, it had secured up to $480 million in financing from a group of lenders led by Wells Fargo Bank that allowed it to continue operating.

At the time of the filing in January, Russ Steinhorst, Shopko's CEO, said the decision was a difficult but necessary one."

"In a challenging retail environment, we have had to make some very tough choices, but we are confident that by operating a smaller and more focused store footprint, we will be able to build a stronger Shopko that will better serve our customers, vendors, employees and other stakeholders through this process," Steinhorst said in a statement.
