After it initially appeared it would be spared, a new list appearing on Shopko’s website shows that Austin will now be losing its store along with Albert Lea.

Both stores are slated to close on May 12.

In mid-January, the retail chain announced it had filed for voluntary petitions for a court-supervised financial restructuring under Chapter 11 off the United States Bankruptcy Code.

At the time, the only area stores listed to be closed were in Rochester and Fairmont, which will be closing on April 15. That appears to have changed.

“This decision is a difficult, but necessary one,” said Russ Steinhorst, chief executive officer at the time of the January announcement.
