Optical center will bring patient-centric care and eyewear to Champlin community

GREEN BAY, Wis. – Shopko Optical, a leader in providing trusted eye care to communities for over 40 years, is looking forward to being a part of Champlin’s community. The new location at 11995 Business Park Blvd. is expected to open in October and will be the fourth Shopko Optical center in the area. Patients can anticipate complete eye care services, including eye exams, contact lens fitting and diagnosis and treatment of eye disease.

“We selected this location based on its convenience for patients seeking eye care,” said Russ Steinhorst, Shopko Optical CEO. “We are pleased to join the Champlin community and deliver the patient-centered care we are known for.”

With the opening of Shopko Optical in Champlin, five to six jobs will be created.

In addition, Shopko Optical’s Project Eyecare program will work with Champlin’s local Lions Club to identify deserving children within the area to receive a free comprehensive eye exam and pair of glasses. Those looking to participate can contact their local Lions Club.
