Growing up in the South Piggly Wiggly was a household name. Worst job I ever had as a teen.

A grocery store ran without people. Thats pretty much what we do now. Go into walmart, foodlion, etc and thats what we do now. Waaaaay ahead of his time. Thank you for the video

We had a small store in my hometown that was near a Piggly Wiggly. The little store was called Hoggly Woggly. .

Your story was great. It's amazing how different grocers make it and also fail
