Another Iowa/Midwest business name bites the dust with the conversion of Pamida stores to Shopkos. The Toledo store, one of two retail stores in Tama County, closes today for a week for the conversion to begin. (Toledo Chronicle) Note that the exterior received a new coat of paint after August 12, when this picture was taken, and a temporary “Pamida” banner is just waiting to be cut down.
Nathan Bush has some pictures of the Toledo store taken in the mid-’00s. Notice the older store letters and big sign. He gave the store good marks.
