Piggly-Wiggly is a nationwide independently-owned grocery chain. In 2010 Piggly-Wiggly stores operate under the name Food Giant are found in eastern Arkansas in Dermott, Dewitt, Dumas, Monticello, Stamps, and Star City.
History
The first Piggly Wiggly store opened at 79 Jefferson Street in Memphis, Tennessee, in September 1916. The store, founded by Clarence Saunders, pioneered the self-service grocery by providing shopping carts and open shelves. The grocer eventually provided checkout stands, individually packaged and priced items, and refrigerator cases.
From at least the 1930s there was a Piggly Wiggly at 1107 Oak Street in Conway.
