    Oddly, I bought Piggly Wiggly t-shirts, complete with pig,
    in a rummage sale. A friend is getting them at Christmas.
    I've seen some of the shirts but have never thought them
    worthy of my spending money on.
    Probably aren't, but they're a rarity this far North.

    The stores aren't as commom now as they were 30/40 years ago. I think Lowe's bought them out in NC but do recall seeing scattered thru the south. i think SC had one near Hilton Head.

    I remember them from when we lived in Mississippi.... haven't a clue as
    to whether they'd still be there or not.... :)

    You can always Google to find out. (G) IIRC, they were the first store
    to have shopping carts and brown grocery bags.
