KIMBERLY, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) — A former Shopko store will become the Fox Valley’s fifth Festival Foods location.
Skogen’s Festival Foods announced Friday that it plans to open a grocery store at 800 E. Maes Ave. in Kimberly. The former Shopko store was sold at auction last month, with the winning bid listed at $1.75 million. An auction in 2021 failed to result in a sale.
The 98,030-square-foot building was one many locations which were shuttered when the retail chain went out of business in 2019.
Festival says it will not use all of the building for the grocery store, and will rent out part of it to tenants.
The location is next to the bridge over the Fox River connecting Kimberly and Little Chute.
The new Festival Foods is set to open in 2023.
