As mentioned in another forum topic in months past, reference was made to the Marina-style Piggly Wiggly in Vidalia, Georgia.

Does anyone have any photographs of this location over the years? I do not know if it is still standing or not. From the age of 10 or so I always took note of that store as we drove by on Georgia Highway 15 (on Jackson Street, I believe) on journeys to the coast. The arched front and roof as well as the distinctive "Piggly Wiggly" lettering made an impression. I never went in that store. The last time I drove past it was in 1991, and I believe it still may have been open as Piggly Wiggly. It had an S&H Green Stamps redemption center next to it if my memory is correct.
After Bruno's took over Piggly Wiggly Southern, or before then, did this location still serve as a grocery retailer? I regret not having had the foresight to document in photos this store. I'm sure I went past it over 100 times between the mid 60's and into the 90's.
