Baker & Taylor is taking over the book program for Green Bay-based Shopko Stores. B&T, which already supplies music to Shopko’s stores, will now be the retailer’s sole supplier of books and will also provide Shopko with both field merchandising and vendor managed inventory services. “By partnering with Baker & Taylor, we will create a highly focused, relevant and on-trend book assortment for our customers,” said Bob Couch, divisional merchandise manager at Shopko, which operates 135 stores in 13 states. The agreement with Shopko represents B&T’s latest expansion of its vendor-managed inventory services and in-store service program for specialty and general merchandise retailers.
