Quote : | "Piggly Wiggly was the first true self-service grocery store. It was founded on September 6, 1916, at 79 Jefferson Avenue in Memphis, Tennessee, by Clarence Saunders. A replica of the original store has been constructed in the Memphis Pink Palace Museum and Planetarium, a mansion that Saunders initially built as his private residence but was later sold to the city." |

In the 1920s, there was a Piggly Wiggly to the left of the store that's now LocoPops. There was a building in that lot called the Hillsborough Square. The lower floor was a PW. Before it was there, It was the Chancellor's House. Riddick lived there. 9/6/2010 2:58:03 PM |
