A Supermarket Changed the World

Picking up a basket while shopping may seem natural now, but the idea was oncegroundbreaking. And that was not the only thing that changed when Piggly Wiggly, the firstmodern American supermarket, opened more than 100 years ago.

Clarence Saunders opened the first Piggly Wiggly on Sept. 11, 1916 in Memphis. Helaunched a self-seryice model that was vastly different from the way things had long beendone. At an old-style grocery (杂货店), customers would pass a grocery list to a clerk. whowould then put items together for shoppers in one bag. At Piggly Wiggly, on the other handthe shoppers did their own choosing. In addition to launching the self-service model, PigglyWiggly introduced shopping baskets, price-marked items and employees in uniform.

Other supermarkets popped up.Supermarket success continued during World War Ilwhen thousands of small grocery stores had to close as their employees went off to war. Afteithe war, the popularity of refrigerators and private cars for nearly every family kept feedingthe model. And it became necessary for supermarkets to provide free parking

Throughout the 1950s, the supermarket proved itself an American phenomenon. It wassuch a wonder that in 1957,during a visit to the US, Oueen Elizabeth visited a Marylandsupermarket to see what it was al about.

While the history of supermarkets is clear, one thing is not: How Piggly Wiggly got itsname. The origin remains a mystery, but when Clarence Saunders was once asked why hepicked the name, he simply responded: “So people will ask that very question."
