Their website now redirects to Baxter. Not sure if it is just a friendly pointer to another Subaru dealership, or if related to the closing.

There is no way a Pamida will be entering that spot.  Pamida and Shopko are the same company, and besides the fact that Pamida does not go into cities larger than 25,000-50,000 generally, they certainly won't place one less than 1 mile away from a Shopko.
