I used to go there occasionally for a few things that were way cheaper than the Jewel right behind our apartment complex. It wasn't the sort of store my wife would ever choose to shop, but she had been curious about it because I had described it, and every time I went there when she was at work, she'd say that she'd like to see it some time. Finally one day, I think it was a Saturday morning, we went there and she agreed that it was a dump. In the parking lot, where quite a few people could overhear, I asked, "There. Are you happy now that I've finally taken you to Food Lion?" I was joking, of course, but we've gotten plenty of laughs over the years imagining what the other shoppers who heard that must have thought.

I've been to The Pig in southern TN and I wouldn't make an effort to
go there either. The Pig in Nashville was so-so. When I lived in
Wisconsin years ago, it was a fine store.
