It's a while since I've been in a Piggly Wiggly, but I would say they 
are more like Tesco in the 70s.  Modern Tesco is more like  Wal*Mart.

Miss Daisy (as in Driving ...) used to ask to be driven to the Piggly 
Wiggly, which, IIRC, started life in South Carolina, or wherever it what 
that Miss Daisy lived.
