(KNSI) – Shopko Optical’s St. Cloud footprint is about to double in size. In a Monday announcement, the company says it has purchased Midwest Vision Centers.
The acquisition amounts to 18 stores in Minnesota and North Dakota in total. For the Central Minnesota region, it means two new Shopko Optical stores. The press release says a transition from Midwest to Shopko signage and products will happen over the course of months. Shopko Optical will soon have locations in the 4000 and 2800 blocks of Division Street. A location in Little Falls is also part of the deal.
Shopko Optical has bought seven companies within the past six months alone. The company now has 142 locations across 13 states.
Shopko Optical CEO Russ Steinhorst says, “Our new patients will be pleased to receive the thorough and trusted eye care they have come to expect along with an enhanced selection of products from the doctors and opticians who will continue to serve these communities.”
