I have heard it is the top 3 in the company in sales. But when JC pe innny closed in the mall then the Pig got the space and remodeled it to what it is today. It used to be in the parking lot across from the currant one. The Pig across from HT in the Florence Mall is a nice. Not sure how it would do since Florence already has 2 Walmart SC and the HT. There has been talk since the 90's about Publix going into Florence but it hasn't happened yet. I am kind of surprised Publix hasn't opened up one store there in West Florence somewhere. Cashua probably the oldest or one out near the airport. Harris Teeter might be the oldest one there now because I think the other Pigs closed, and Bi-Lo and Food Lion on Palmentto opened up in the 90's. I meant the Pig in Forest Acres (Columbia) and the one in Florence are newish. Also its rumored that HT is going back into the Columbia market. Since this is a thread about the shrinking Piggly Wiggly then I will go ahead and say look for an announcement from Harris Teeter in the next few weeks about buying some Pigs in the Myrtle Beach area and reopening them as Harris Teeter stores. As there in no HT in the Columbia area, Publix is my favorite. When I lived in Charleston, Harris Teeter was my favorite chain with Publix 2nd. Yes Publix is more expensive but because of its size, they have a much larger and more varied selection.Ĭonvenience is one thing, but selection is another important thing. When it comes to a "major" grocery run, I go to a new, large, not as nearby Publix (3 miles). I shop there all the time as it is convenient. There is an older, smaller Pig nearby where I live (one mile). Two or more stores in an area cannot be as cost effective as one large store covering the area. I believe that many of the older chain grocery stores (Pig and Food Lion especially) have a lot of smaller stores versus a few bigger stores. I am not in the grocery store business so my observations are strictly as a consumer.
