One story is that he saw from a train window several little pigs struggling to get under a fence, and the rhyming name occurred to him then. Someone once asked him why he had chosen such an unusual name for his organization, and Saunders' reply was, "So people will ask that very question." He wanted and found a name that would be talked about and remembered.”<br /><br />Here's <a href="http://www.pigglywiggly.com/about-us" rel="nofollow">a web site for the company.</a>Ken Broadhursthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04430899802705818716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-12389195371380666252013-04-16T19:16:46.778+02:002013-04-16T19:16:46.778+02:00Love the idea of a Piggly-Wiggly shop... presumabl...Love the idea of a Piggly-Wiggly shop... presumably they started by selling pork products.<br /><br />Thinking of America today!Timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16439261142732764451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-53755081998675835002013-04-16T18:27:56.326+02:002013-04-16T18:27:56.326+02:00Thanks for the memories.
