Piggly Wiggly Alabama Distributing Company, Inc.

In 1959, 27 Piggly Wiggly owners came together to form Piggly Wiggly Alabama Distributing Company. This venture gave these 27 operators "mass buying power," which allowed them to compete. Soon after Piggly Wiggly Alabama Distributing Company began operating, the company went through an explosive growth period, and today, Piggly Wiggly Alabama Distributing Company continues explosive success. Piggly Wiggly Alabama Distributing Company currently serves more than 270 stores in seven states, with sales at $750 million. We at Piggly Wiggly Alabama Distributing are dedicated to the success of the independent retailers that we serve. The success of our great organization has been driven by the spirit of our independent grocers. Though our low cost of goods separates us from our competitors, it is the "attitude of a servant" that our associates go about their jobs with that makes us truly successful. We know who we work for. Our job is to help our retailers make money and compete in their marketplaces. When you are part of our warehouse, you are part of our family and we will always go the extra mile for you.
