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!

Piggly Wiggly entered our barrel train in the Clinton, NC Christmas parade today! I think Mr. Pig was a big hit as always. The kid’s riding in the barrel train had fun as well! Special thanks goes to the employees of our Shamrock Plaza store for taking the responsibiliy of getting the train in the parade as well as furnishing our riders! (all of them are children, or at least closely related to, our employees). Chuck Crabtree, manager of the store, did a great job coordinating all the preparations for this years parade. Here are a couple of videos I wanted to get online as soon as possible. I’ll try to clean them up a little later, but please enjoy!

Mr. Pig can’t seem to keep up with his train!
