Who do you think of first when you are getting ready to have an event catered? Probably not your local supermarket right? We constantly deal with hearing, “We didn’t know that Piggly Wiggly caters.” I decided to do a short little video of one of our events this year. I’ll add some more pictures and examples in a few days. In the meantime, think Piggly Wiggly Catering for all your catering needs. Whether it is large or small, fancy or plain, we can do the job for you.

So many times, we get so involved in trying to decide what to give at this time of year that it becomes a chore. Let us help you this year. Give the gift of food. Except for maybe cash, it is a universal gift! Everyone eats, so for the person who has everything, it is the perfect gift! We have Piggly Wiggly gift cards available in preset denominations, or you can customize each one with a different amount if you like. For our corporate friends, we also offer a %5 discount on any order of Piggly Wiggly gift cards totaling over $1000. Share the gift of food this holiday season while shopping local first!

This is a first for us. We are having a “Holiday Showcase – A gift for all Seasons” party and want you to attend if you are in the area. We have lots of samples and door prizes too, so come out and see what your locally owned supermarket can help you accomplish this year and in the future. Gift baskets, Gift cards, catering, special orders, you name it and we will get it for you. From a simple bottle of wine in a fancy box and wrap to a ribeye steak diner for four, we will have your gift presented in such a way that you will be proud to give it to the recipient. Please visit anytime, but this particular event will be at our Jordan Plaza location on October 7th, 2010 from 1-7 pm. We look forward to seeing you there!

The Taste of Home Cooking School will be back in Clinton on May 6th! Piggly Wiggly is a major sponsor of this event as we furnish the food for the event as well as bags full of groceries and a bunch of free items for attendees. If you like to watch the Food Network, you’ll be right at home here! Come out and join in the fun in this community event. Vendor booths will be open at 4pm and the show will start at 6. You can get your tickets at Piggly Wiggly at Jordan Plaza or Shamrock Plaza. Save a few bucks by getting them in advance. Actually, you probably want to get them in advance to insure you get a ticket! Last year was sold out and with all the positive comments of last years show, I am absolutely sure that this year will sell out as well.

The Sampson Independent ran an article last week that is available on their website by clicking on this link. Taste of Home Cooking Show

Come out for a fun evening and support your local businesses as we show off what we have to offer you, our valued customers.

We recently helped to sponsor the 1st Sampson County Super Sprint. I thought everyone would like to see highlights of Mr. Pig at this event. We furnished the food station for the race.  We furnished water, soft drinks, bananas, bagels, and peanut butter for the participants. Special thanks to our friends at Pepsi Bottling Ventures for their generous support of our local community. We also had some Protein Rush and “Bang” workout drinks furnished by our NEW friends at VPX Sports and Europa FDM. Be on the lookout for these new and exciting items in our stores soon! I’ll quit chatting and let you see the video! Hope you enjoy watching as much as we did in participating!

PS make sure you watch till the end! You’ll see what can happen if you eat properly and exercise! Even Mr. Pig slimmed down. (even if his was only temporary)

OK, there has been some recent activity on Facebook concerning the OLD Piggly Wiggly Jingle. I have dug through the old files and managed to find a copy of the old Jingle. In fact, we still use it occaisionaly in some of our radio advertising. This is the actual ad version so you will hear some background music that is used for the voice over for the radio announcers to record our actual ad items. Listen and enjoy! Please post comments here!
