About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver arrived early with a truckload of fresh produce. As he unloaded crates in the backroom, he heard an odd noise coming from one of the boxes. Curious, he opened it and found… nothing but tiny squeaky wheels. Confused, he shook the box gently—and out popped a small plastic piggy bank on wheels. Startled, he laughed aloud, realizing it was just someone’s prank. Turns out, a neighbor had hidden them there as a joke. From then on, whenever anyone asked for ‘piggly wigglies,’ everyone knew exactly what they meant—a funny little toy pig instead of real groceries.

2. At dawn, when most supermarkets are quiet, an old cashier started noticing something peculiar in the Piggly Wiggly’s freezer section. Every night, boxes of expired yogurt mysteriously rearranged themselves into alphabetical order. One morning, a delivery driver found himself surrounded by neatly stacked cartons of yogurt, each labeled with perfect precision. Thinking it was some prank, he asked around, and everyone just smiled knowingly. Finally, an elderly neighbor whispered, ‘That old cashier must’ve had quite the sense of humor!’ The mystery remained unsolved, but the town adopted the legend as proof that even supermarkets could use a little magic.

3. At closing time, a night security guard noticed something strange in the dairy aisle. ‘Who left these glowing milk cartons?’ he muttered, rubbing his eyes. Curious, he picked one up—suddenly, the carton hummed softly and lit his face with an eerie blue glow. Startled, he dropped it, only for another carton to start beeping gently from the shelf above him. ‘Maybe they’re on sale,’ he joked, but as he turned around, every single carton began to blink and whisper, “Welcome home… Mr. Jones.” Relieved, our guard realized it was just a new shipment of talking yogurt.'

4. One day, while stocking shelves, a young employee overheard two customers debating: ‘I bet that’s where all the ghosts shop!’ ‘Really? Which one?’ asked another. Pointing at the aisle, the first replied, ‘The one with the never-empty milk display.’ Suddenly, an old lady in the next aisle exclaimed, 'Why, that's my favorite brand!' and picked up a carton. Everyone laughed, realizing it was just a perpetually restocked display. From then on, whenever anyone mentioned ghosts shopping there, everyone would wink knowingly and say, 'Probably picking up some Piggly Wiggly specials.'
