I love ❤️ Piggly Wiggly, especially Mr Gary. LUZ, and Chante but I visited this location ON Yesterday on a Sunday but I frequent this store daily. To my surprise 😮 Went through register 1 which is the busiest lane but anyhoo, this young man running the register kept paused I asked why you keep stopping by I'm 🤔 maybe he wants me to tell him when to stop ringing, NOoo. He actually tells me I'm waiting for you to bag your groceries 👌

Was here last week and needed help locating coconut water. The employees were very helpful and helped me locate it. Even though the brand was not the one I was looking for, their help and willingness to help left me very pleased.Now I’m back just because of those two employees. Management is to be commended for hiring the right people.

Today, I broke my rule of not going to a store on a holiday because I needed to buy some water. This location is closest to me and that's where I went. I normally have a pretty good experience here. But today was different. I called myself helping the cashier by scanning my case of water for them. When he was done wringing up my other items, he asked me about the case of water. To which I replied, "Remember when I took your scan gun earlier. I was scanning my water." Then, I pointed to it on his screen and added, "I was just trying to help you when I should have just let you do your job." He still wasn't convinced and was still looking over my receipt for the water AFTER I paid. I do NOT like how that made me feel because I'm HONEST and I work HARD for my money. I will not be helping in this capacity again. I worked in customer service, and I know there are rules, etc. I just don't like being made to feel like I was stealing something I CLEARY paid for.

Pretty good store, but the restrooms could use some work on.

The pig looks great now. There are plenty of lanes open. Prices have gone up I guess to accommodate their new makeover. I love it.

Couldn't find Rye bread for the pastrami. Couldn't find the pickles I like. Paid eight dollars for a bag of Granny Smith Apples. If one is not good they go back. The only good thing was paying $.99 each for two packs of pastrami. Ended up @ Walmart.

Usually only shop here when I don't have any other option. The customer service isn't the greatest, the employees look like they just rolled out of bed , and it usually has a very unpleasant smell.

I was in my hometown for a class reunion and decided to stop by "The Pig" to price and purchase some beef to bring back to Georgia. I found the beef to be reasonably priced. The store was clean and well stocked. I did end up buying what I was looking for. Still dont get the 10% extra but thats "The Pig"!

Easily found what I wanted (and some) for fair prices. It's well worth the drive for hard-to-find items like bone-in whiting, Margaret Holmes vegetables, special Coca-Cola products and Whistle Stop fried green tomato batter boxes (in the produce section).Tom's Vinegar and Salt chips, Fanta Pina-Colada sodas, Buffalo Rock sodas, Zeigler red hots, Ballpark bun length franks and Zeigler Garlic bologna are usually available for a quick cookout.Ready for the New Year's weekend!

Tainted/ Smelly MeatsBe very careful when buying meats from the "🐖" pig. I promise you every time I make the stupid decision to run in out of convience I get home and realize it was a mistake. The Chicken especially smells like a "POOT" lol the ground beef is pink on the outside but brown on the inside. I don't know what they have going on but this has to stop! I will never take my brown butt in there ever again. Terrible nasty place

One of the better stores in a certain proximity and seems more peaceful than Walmart.

Piggy Wiggly has always been one of my go to stores. Their pick 5 is awesome. Love the wine section cause a girl needs a tardy for the body every now and then. Their Hot bar is what I Iived by when I was pregnant with child. You can find what you need and more at this store. Highly recommended.

It's a great discount store for every day needs, for example, I needed dog food and they had a 30 LB bag for $19.89.

This location is near my neck of the woods. I will go here when I don't feel like driving to my favorite grocery store in the Eastwood area. Some of their prices are good...but this location charges an extra 10% charge. Not sure if you are actually saving money or not. Haven't done the math to figure it out yet.The workers are nice sometimes...sometimes I question if they know what good customer service is. I have no problem with the quality of the food. It's usually crowded, especially around holidays.Summary: I shop here for convenience. I shop here when I feel lazy and don't want to drive 3 miles to my favorite store. It's not a bad place to shop. It's just not my favorite. It fits the need to grab something quick and fast. Nothing more..nothing less.

I'm there every couple days staff are friendly and treat you like a friend. Don't forget to get their app. Every week there is a different free item plus extra coupons.

This place is located in East Lake. It is the most expensive grocery store I have ever been in contact with! They advertise that you pay the same price they do, you just pay 10% more of the total. I don't know where they purchase their food but someone from Walmart needs to do their purchases for them or teach them the value of a dollar!! ***NOT TO MENTION, YOU PAY 10% OVER THEIR PRICE BUT ALSO YOU HAVE TO PAY A 10% SALES TAX ON TOP OF ALL THAT!!*** HELLO, can we say neighborhood robbery because there is no other grocery store that people have to shop at in that area!! STOP TAKING ADVANTAGE OF EVERYONE IN THIS AREA BECAUSE A LOT OF US ARE BARELY MAKING IT!!

Nice store overall....but these store taxes twice.The store is nice, well lit and stocked nicely. However, I did forget that it charges 10% on top of the "low price". I purchased items according to my list and thought I was within budget until I got my receipt. I typically shop other places, but since I was with my mother, we went here.It's very unfortunate that you have to add 20% to your final total to know how much you will spend.They did have a few sale prices, but added the 10% really put the item towards the original price.

When you want to feel at home, around people in the neighborhood you've known awhile, and managed by friendly staff. Eastlake Community Piggy-Wiggly Market is the place for most of our Grocery needs. It's clean environment is welcoming. They're well stocked, fast check-out are excellent characteristics of quality customer service that's much appreciated.

This store is in an older building. But they cater to their community. There are a lot of Hispanic people who work there and they have a tremendous amount of Hispanic products. This was my reason for visiting. There are Hispanic spices and products that I cannot find in a regular store which I carry at this Piggly Wiggly. The Hispanic people who work there are nice and polite and I do intend to go again because like I said they have every type of spice that you can think of and the prices are reasonable.

This is an amazingly clean grocery store. It is very well laid out, the shelves are always fully stocked and they are very well organized. The produce selection is fantastic and it, too, is very well organized as well as being fully stocked. The staff is always very friendly. An unexpected but pleasant surprise was to find a really nice selection of Hispanic food & sundries.

Everything here is cost plus 10%. You can usually find some pretty good deals here but you have to pay attention and remember to add that 10% to the posted price. With that in mind, the prices of non sale items is comparable to Walmart usually within a few cents but when an item is on sale the price is worth going a little out of your way. It's kept pretty clean and the staff have good customer service skills.
