ASHWAUBENON, Wis. (AP) -- A retail chain headquartered in the Green Bay area is looking for more than 100 new employees.

Shopko says its merger with Pamida and strong sales at Shopko Hometown stores has created a need for hiring in merchandising, human resources, marketing, inventory management and other areas at its corporate office in Ashwaubenon.

WLUK-TV (http://bit.ly/HAyHEB ) says the company is holding a job fair at its headquarters April 19 from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m.
