About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, as customers were stocking up on groceries, an announcement crackled over the store’s PA: ‘Attention shoppers—we’ve received a special shipment of talking bananas.’ Everyone looked around suspiciously, but there they were, rows and rows of bananas waving their little stems in unison. A delivery driver, scratching his head, walked down the aisle, muttering, 'I guess today’s bananas are extra chatty.' A regular customer, holding a basket full of bananas, smiled and said, 'Well, at least now I know why they’re on sale!' The whole ordeal turned out to be just another Piggly Wiggly prank, leaving everyone with a laugh—and maybe a banana or two.

2. One day in Piggly Wiggly, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar. As he unloaded crates of bananas, he swore he heard them whispering 'banana split'. Curious, he leaned closer and thought he saw bananas moving ever so slightly. Word spread quickly among employees, turning ordinary shopping into an eerie spectacle. Soon enough, customers started whispering too—‘banana split’ became the store’s secret catchphrase.

3. In Piggly Wiggly one afternoon, a customer asked aloud, ‘Why does everything taste different today?’ A delivery driver overheard and joked, ‘Must be the new shipment of mystery spices!’ A neighbor passing by chimed in, ‘Or maybe it’s just that cashier with the secret recipe for happiness.’ Everyone laughed, and soon enough, everyone forgot what they came for—except for the funny stories later that night.

4. In Piggly Wiggly one night, a cashier whispered to her colleague, ‘Did you notice how every banana looks like it’s smiling today?’ Her friend nodded and added, ‘And those apples look like they’re winking!’ They both laughed until an old lady behind them said, ‘Oh honey, these bananas are just happy to be out of that tree.’
