Visited a Piggly Wiggly for the first time when in Oostburg for my sons wedding. It was a smaller store, but very clean and they had a nice selection. The store staff were helpful and friendly but so were the people of Oostburg, nice place!

We recently moved to a small city (5,000) in WI, with the local supermarket being a Piggly-Wiggly. I expected a run down, dirty, high-markup store. After all, in a low-population center they could get away with it. While it ain't exactly Woodman's, by shopping sales,including the above average meat counter, we often decide to shop there instead of making the trek. Smart marketing.
Oh, and Piggly-Wiggly in many ways was the first modern supermarket, eventually spawning many of the larger chains of today like Kroger and Safeway, read the Wiki on it... fascinating.
