           SHOPKO REPORTS INCREASED FIRST QUARTER SALES AND EARNINGS
           ---------------------------------------------------------

GREEN BAY, WIS. June 20 (PRNEWSWIRE)-- ShopKo Stores, Inc., (NYSE: SKO) reported
first quarter consolidated sales (16 weeks through June 14, 1997) increased 17.9
percent to $720.0 million versus $610.9 million reported for the same period
last year. Retail comparable store sales increased 5.1 percent in the first
quarter. First quarter net income increased 25.7 percent to $7.2 million or
$0.22 per share, compared to $5.8 million or $0.18 per share for the same period
last year. Results for the first quarter of fiscal 1998 are net of a
nonrecurring pre-tax charge of $2.8 million ($0.05 per share) for costs incurred
in connection with the business combination agreement with Phar-Mor, Inc., which
was terminated on April 2, 1997.

Dale P. Kramer, President and Chief Executive Officer said, "The Company is 
extremely pleased with the retail store performance and the continued growth in
ProVantage health services."

The following table summarizes first quarter sales by business segment:

</TABLE> 

The increase in ProVantage sales is due primarily to internally generated growth
and the acquisition of CareStream Scrip Card in August 1996.

Consolidated gross margin as a percentage of sales for the first quarter was 
22.7 percent versus 24.0 percent for the same period last year.  Retail store 
gross margin as a percentage of sales was 26.5 percent this year compared to 
25.8 percent for the first quarter of last year.  The gross margin percentages 
reflect LIFO charges of $1.4 million this year versus $1.1 million last year.  
The increase in the retail store gross margin rate is primarily due to a shift 
in the sales mix away from lower gross margin promotional sales.  ProVantage 
gross margin as a percentage of sales was 6.9 percent for the first quarter of 
this year compared to 7.4 percent for the same period last year.  This decrease 
is primarily attributable to a larger percentage of ProVantage's sales coming 
from the lower gross margin claims processing activities.

Consolidated selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of
sales decreased to 17.2 percent for the first quarter this year from 18.6
percent last year. The decrease is primarily due to increased ProVantage sales.
Retail store selling, general and administrative expenses were 19.4 percent of
net sales for both fiscal years. ProVantage selling, general and administrative
expenses were 3.6 percent of net sales this year compared to 2.9 percent of net
sales last year. This increase is primarily due to costs associated with
acquired Scrip Card lives.

Shopko Stores, Inc. is a leading regional retailer operating 130 stores and four
