There is a chain of stores called Sendik’s in the Milwaukee area. They are higher end, but their prices are in line with Kroeger and other national chains. They close at 9PM and there store are always neat.

We have a small chain in the Midwest called, ‘Piggly Wiggly.’ Yes, it’s silly, but they are iconic to us. :)

I went shopping on Tuesday, just to see how the next town over (4K population) was faring. I started at the Super Walmart, and they were completely out of a lot of staples, though if you weren’t picky about brands, you could still get what you needed. ANYTHING that was the ‘Great Value’ store brand was gone - higher priced items were still available.

Next I hit the Piggly Wiggly and it was as if NOTHING was going on. they were fully stocked on everything and the only item that was limited was Charmin TP - you could only buy 4 packs at a time...and they had a HUGE end cap display of it. Oh, they were out of Yukon Gold potatoes. ;)

So, my little local store is doing better than the HUGE chains.
