1. Softlines Private Brand & Trend Procedures

1.1 Overview Shopko’s corporate mission states: “We are committed to offering quality merchandise and service to meet our customers’ lifestyle requirements for casual apparel, home, family, and health needs with style - at prices that communicate real value ...”

In keeping with our corporate mission, Shopko’s Private Brand & Trend Division/Vendor Compliance Department is completely committed to maintaining the highest standards of quality and value in all products we offer our customer. As such, vendors cannot ship product until a Product Approval Letter (PAL) is issued by Shopko’s Vendor Compliance team. Failure to do so will result in a 20% penalty chargeback (based on the value of the PO).

Vendors who wish to build a prosperous, long term partnership with Shopko must adhere to all requirements and procedures as set forth in this manual.

NOTE: Shopko’s QA/Floor Ready requirements are set forth by the Private Brand & Trend Division.

1.2 Evaluation Request/Testing & Submittal Evaluation Forms

A Submittal and Evaluation Request Form must be filled out correctly and completely for any sample submitted to Shopko’s Private Brand & Trend Division for Evaluation.

See the Evaluation Request Forms in the Exhibit section of this chapter.

A Softlines Laboratory Testing Request Form must be filled out correctly and completely for any sample submitted to a Shopko approved testing laboratory. See Softlines Laboratory Testing Request Form in the Exhibit section of this chapter.

1.3 Overview of Private Brand & Trend/Vendor Compliance Processes

1.3.1 Product Specification Development

• Shopko Buyer and/or Product Manager submit development samples to the Technical Design Department for review and development of product specifications.

o If style is Shopko Driven, meaning style originates from Shopko, the product specification will include: technical sketch, fabric and component details, construction make details and a graded size specification.

o If the style is Vendor Driven, meaning the style originates from the vendor, the product specification will only include a graded size specification and a fit/make evaluation page.

• Based upon Shopko body charts; minimum inches over body and desired fit, Technical Design includes in the product specification a graded size specification. Based upon the sample, requested changes, and Shopko’s requirements, Technical Design includes fabric/component details and detailed construction make specifications.

• The Technical Design Department returns the development sample and/or fabric and trim quality when available and/or applicable, along with completed Product Specifications, to the Sourcing Department for distribution to potential Vendors and Agents.

1.3.2 Vendor Selection

• The three top strategic initiatives of Shopko’s apparel division are as follows:

1. First quality product

2. On-time delivery

3. Fair pricing


09/30/15 7-2

• All three factors have equal weight in determining Shopko’s vendor matrix. Only those vendors who perform in these areas will be considered by Shopko for private label production. Vendors are rated on a seasonal basis and updated ratings are supplied to the merchants prior to a season’s pricing/sourcing stage.

1.3.3 Color Standard Distribution
