So, they're grocery stores? I always imagined they were southern bodegas, if you know what I mean.

Like a local store that sells smokes, lotto, candy, chips, paper towels, canned goods, milk, etc.

I love the name but wasn't sure if they were real or made up for film and TV. I need to visit one just to say I've been to a Piggly Wiggly.
