I’m looking for who you use right now, but feel free to reminisce about the past. I currently use Stop & Shop.

The dream has always been the piggly wiggly, but I don’t think I’ll ever achieve that dream

I currently shop for groceries at a store named Jay C.

Years back when I used to summer vacation with family members in northeast Wisconsin, the nearest town had a Piggly Wiggly store and I shopped there several times over the years.

Other supermarket stores that I fondly remember are:

A & P
IGA
National

It's just a grocery store like all the others but I agree the name is cool. If I remember correctly, their advertising slogan is "Shop the pig!"

The name was a gamble but it works. There’s no definitive explanation as to where it came from

>>>The origin of the name Piggly Wiggly is a mystery, as the founder, Clarence Saunders, was reluctant to explain it. When asked why he chose the name, Saunders would sometimes say, "So people will ask that very question". <<<

I shop at Ralph's, Pavillions, Jons and Trader Joe's

I fondly remember Acme , A & P , Pantry Pride and Penn Fruit from my Philly days. Of all of them I think Acme is the only one still in business.

Supermarket Sweep

Oh, this isn't about a game show.

I've been to Piggly Wiggly in the past, but their closest store is over 20 miles away. They aren't exactly down the street like one of their slogans. It's not really worth the extra effort.

Kroger, Publix and Winn-Dixie are our closest stores. They made a film called Because of Winn-Dixie. We had Schnucks (not to be confused with Canucks) in St. Louis and Jewel-Osco in Chicago.
