Woah, it's a long way up here in northwest Iowa let me tell you that!
The Pamida store in Hawarden, at the Iowa/South Dakota border, closed in September 1999 due to safety precautions.
It opened back up in early 2000, and everyone is happy to have it back!
July 5, 2003 I went on quite a road trip reaching points such as Cherokee, Storm Lake, and Ida Grove. I finally
got to see the Pamida in Ida Grove. It's located next to the Food Pride in the Oak Grove Plaza (has lots of castles
in Ida Grove). I didn't get a chance to go inside because Pamida closes at 8PM on Saturdays. I looked inside and
it has three checkouts. I couldn't see much of anything else. But the trip to the Kmart in Cherokee made up for
it.
Do you have a Pamida store in the NW section of Iowa you want to share with me and the viewers of this site? Just
Email it to me and I'll post it as soon as possible and give you credit! Thank you!
