     ShopKo Merger Corp., a Delaware corporation  (the "Offeror") and a wholly
owned subsidiary of ShopKo Stores, Inc., a Wisconsin corporation (the "Parent"),
and Parent hereby amend and supplement their Tender Offer Statement on Schedule
14D-1 (as amended, the "Schedule 14D-1") and Statement on Schedule 13D,
originally filed on May 17, 1999, with respect to their offer to purchase all
outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the "Shares"), of
Pamida Holdings Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), at a
purchase price of $11.50 per Share, net to the seller in cash, without interest,
upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase,
dated May 17, 1999, and in the related Letter of Transmittal, copies of which
have been filed as Exhibits (a)(1) and (a)(2) to the Schedule 14D-1,
respectively.  Capitalized terms not defined herein have the meanings assigned
thereto in the Schedule 14D-1.

Item 10. Additional Information.

         (c):  The waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust
Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, applicable to the purchase of Shares
pursuant to the Offer has expired.

         (f):  On June 14, 1999, Parent announced that the Offeror has extended
the Offer. The Offer will now expire at 12:00 midnight, New York City time, on
Friday, July 2, 1999, unless the Offer is further extended. The Offeror extended
the Offer pursuant to Section 1.01(a)(iv) of the Merger Agreement, which permits
the Offeror to extend the Offer if the waiver of an event of default that arises
under the Loan Agreement upon purchase of Shares pursuant to the Offer has not
been obtained. As a result of the extension, the Offeror is deemed to have
irrevocably waived the condition set forth in paragraph (d) of Annex A to the
Merger Agreement, insofar as such paragraph relates to representations and
warranties of the Company, and the condition set forth in paragraph (e) of Annex
A to the Merger Agreement. Although Parent believes that such waiver will be
obtained, it is not a condition to the Offer that such waiver be obtained, and
the Offeror will not have the right to further extend the Offer because of the
failure to obtain such a waiver.

         A copy of the press release issued by Parent on June 14, 1999, is filed
as Exhibit (a)(10) to the Schedule 14D-1 and incorporated by reference herein.

Item 11. Material to be Filed as Exhibits.

         (a)(10) Press release issued by Parent on June 14, 1999.
