"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."

'let's go to the pig' is how we say it back home.

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.
