Piggly Wiggly, Memphis, Tennessee

I grew up in Memphis, and many years for school field trips,
I went to the Pink Palace Museum, and
there was a permanent exhibit of the first
Piggly Wiggly. Ten years old, and pure awe!

"Master and Servant"
"put employees in uniforms for cleaner...."

"Piggly Wiggly was the first true self-service grocery store. "

"It was founded on September 6, 1916, at 79 Jefferson Avenue in Memphis, Tennessee, by Clarence Saunders. A replica of the original store has been constructed in the Memphis Pink Palace Museum and Planetarium, a mansion that Saunders initially built as his private residence but was later sold to the city."

Piggly Wiggly was the first to:

• provide checkout stands.
• price mark every item in the store.
• feature a full line of nationally advertised brands.
• use refrigerated cases to keep produce fresher longer.
• put employees in uniforms for cleaner, more sanitary food handling.
• design and use patented fixtures and equipment throughout the store.
• franchise independent grocers to operate under the self-service method of food merchandising.
