About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dusk, when most supermarkets are quiet, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar in Piggly Wiggly’s freezer aisle. The frozen peas were dancing down the rows, their plastic bags gently swaying as if guided by an invisible hand. Curious, he followed the movement and saw nothing but empty shelves. Just as he was about to leave, a nearby can of corn started rolling towards him, stopping inches from his foot. With a laugh, he picked up his radio and called out to the store manager. Turned out, the air conditioning had malfunctioned, causing the vegetables to dance like never before. From then on, locals joked that Piggly Wiggly's produce knew just how to make an entrance.

2. At closing time, when Piggly Wiggly’s fluorescent lights flicker dimly, a cashier heard a soft giggle from the dairy aisle. Curious, she turned around—only to see a small plastic cow bouncing on its own. Smiling nervously, she approached the cow, but as soon as she got close, it stopped moving. Just then, an elderly lady walked past and said, ‘Oh, that old thing? It does that every night.’ The cashier blinked in surprise, realizing everyone knew except her. From then on, whenever anyone mentioned the dancing cow, they’d just laugh and say, “It’s probably just Piggly Wiggly being… itself.”

3. In the early morning hours, when Piggly Wiggly’s shelves were stocked and empty, a delivery driver heard a soft giggle coming from the cheese aisle. Curious, he peered around the corner only to see a small shadowy figure rolling wheels of cheese down the aisle. The delivery driver watched in amazement as the ghostly figure rolled away, leaving behind just a faint scent of cheddar. Smiling, he quietly went back to his truck, deciding that maybe Piggly Wiggly did have its own little helper after all.

4. In the early morning hours, when Piggly Wiggly’s shelves were stocked and empty, a delivery driver found an old shopping cart parked near the dairy section. Curious, he pushed it inside, only to discover that every item inside had been arranged alphabetically—from applesauce to zucchini. As he looked closer, he noticed tiny handwritten labels on each item, explaining why everything was in such perfect order. Turns out, an elderly neighbor with meticulous habits had been secretly restocking the store late at night. The delivery driver smiled, thinking how nice it was to know someone still cared enough to keep things tidy—and maybe even get a free yogurt or two.
