We're in Myrtle Beach this week and found out that Piggly Wiggly at the Market Common is closing soon. No one at the store knew what was going to replace it. Does anyone know if another grocery store will take its place? I hope so. It would certainly be convenient for us when we move down here.
Piggly Wiggly #134, The Market Common, 1220 Moser Drive, Myrtle Beach, South Carolina 29577-1575
This Piggly Wiggly store will close as the last store owned and operated by Piggly Wiggly Carolina Company. All other Piggly Wiggly Carolina Company stores have been divested to other chains or independent owner/operators or have closed. The liquidation sale begins Monday, 3 October 2016.
I have been monitoring speculation of another supermarket for the Market Common trade area: Publix. Unfortunately, the speculation was a year ago.
The final nail in the coffin of Piggly Wiggly Carolina has been driven. Their legacy of failure, mismanagement and incompetence will not be missed.
Publix, Walmart Neighborhood Market, Aldi and Lidl are on the march...and sub-par failures stuck in the past like Piggly Wiggly, Bi-Lo and Food Lion are going to keep closing.
Hopefully the real estate can be repurposed into something actually useful as soon as possible.

Piggly Wiggly #134 must have declined quickly after Walmart Neighborhood Market #5923, Farrow Commons, 3650 Walton Drive, Myrtle Beach, South Carolina 29577-6775, opened in May. The store had already been reeling after Piggly Wiggly Carolina Company's erosion.

Piggly Wiggly #134 closed in October 2016.
I am not aware of any updates to see who, including another supermarket, could replace Piggly Wiggly #134.
