Piggly Wiggly Coligny Plaza

As I stand in the Pig corner (the retail section of our store), singing along to the Jackson Five, and folding a cart full of unfolded t-shirts that I have collected from the shelves, a little girl approaches me asking where the t-shirt I am wearing is in her size. As I attempt to explain (without breaking her heart) that I got my light turquoise tye-dye shirt six years ago which therefore is no longer in stock, I show her a neon pink and yellow tye-dye shirt and -BOOM!- cris

It is mid-June on Hilton Head Island. In most places, this may mean nothing more than it is HOT (and it is). But to Islanders, mid-June means BUSY. In the Summer months, we serve and speak with people from all over the country (and world) every day. While we do love our customers, sometimes their questions and comments just make us giggle. Some of the staff's prime bonding moments are derived from sharing these silly customer inquiries, so I have decided to share them with yo

I absolutely love my job, mainly due to the fact that my boss and co-workers are the most wonderful, hilarious, entertaining, and hard-working people I know. As I asked my fellow piglets this question, I learned that I was not the only one who thought this place rocks nor was I the only one who feels as if we are all one pig happy family! If you read part one, then you will know that part two involves more piglets (my name for the staff) answering the question, "What is your

I began working at the Pig when I was 14 years old. I am now 22 and still never want to leave. It occurred to me that I, more than likely, was not the only one that loved this place, the staff, and of course, my boss. So, over the last few days I have gone around asking each of my co-workers what their favorite part about working at the Pig is. Their answers both surprised me and did not surprise me at all. Our staff is very diverse, ranging in ages, ethnicity, educational le

We, humans, often take wonderful parts of our lives for granted. One thing I have taken for granted is the delicious, fresh seafood I was brought up on. I was born and raised on Hilton Head Island and my parents often served fresh seafood for dinner. I had not realized just how lucky I was to be eating this fresh and local seafood until I ventured out of the low country. When I was eighteen, a few of my friends and I decided to go to Aspen, Colorado for the six month ski seas

Although I, now, am involved in multiple departments, I was not always. In fact, it took me a while to figure a lot of things out... including the many family ties among my co-workers. We are all relatively close, and this is a (somewhat) professional environment, so it was not immediately apparent to me that some of my co-workers are actually related. When my former manager, Kevin, asked Mrs. Brenda (the bookkeeper) if she could watch his kids one evening, I just assumed we
