The company was established as a franchise-based system, allowing independent retailers to operate under the Piggly Wiggly® brand. Today, Piggly Wiggly® continues to operate through a network of licensed stores, supported by C&S Wholesale Grocers, which provides warehousing, distribution, and marketing services. The brand remains a trusted name in American grocery retail, known for its long-standing presence and community focus.
