My SIL works for PW. He’s worried about his job because he saw this coming. Hope it works out for him.

I don’t like it when I go grocery shopping and find it’s a different store from the last time I went there.

We have a relatively new grocery store chain around here - Aldi.
Their prices are amazing and they have euroweenie junk food (good stuff)! My wife shops it on the way home; I’d shop there if it was in the correct direction.

Must be just the North Caroline stores owned by that family. There are about 80 stores in South Carolina alone, and in a bunch of them in other states.

Groceries On My Shelf (Piggly Wiggly)--Lucille Bogan (1933)

My name is Piggly Wiggly, and I swear you can help yourself.
My name is Piggly Wiggly, and I swear you can help yourself.
And you've got to have your green back, for we don't take nothing else.

Yes, Piggly Wiggly store here, Piggly Wigglys everywhere.
Piggly Wiggly store here, Piggly Wigglys everywhere.
If you don't find one here, you will find one over there.

You can go to your five, you can go to your ten cent store.
You can go to your five, you can go to your ten cent store.
But if you come to my Piggly Wiggly, you won't go back there no more.

Now my friends all hate me, 'cause I've got a Piggly Wiggly store.
Now my friends all hate me; I've got a Piggly Wiggly store.
I've got groceries on my shelf, and they're laying all on the floor.

Now my Mama told me, Papa told me, too,
Now my Mama told me, Papa told me too,
They said that Piggly Wiggly store is going to be the ruin of you.

When I hear "Piggly Wiggly," I think back to my childhood in the 1950s from Houston, El Paso, Dallas and Corsicana, Texas to Tennessee to Arkansas to Alabama to Louisiana and back. Along with A&P, Duke & Ayres, S.H. Kress & Co., Woolworth, Weingarten's, Crosskeys, Meyer's, Sanger-Harris, Titche's, Foley's and the Shamrock Hilton are stores and places that loomed large in my memories.

Yet they are all gone now, as dead as the world I grew up in the 1950s.

Too bad, we had moral and common decency back then. Nowadays we have Obama and the Democrat Party--

I had heard Dolly Parton was expanding her portfolio by buying the grocery chains Piggly Wiggly, Harris Teeter, and Big Star.

She has renamed them, Big Wiggly Teeters.
