Piggly Wiggly ("The Social Pig"), 3818 Devine Street: 28 March 2025 3 comments
This closing was first mooted back in 2020, I think, with Lidl speculated to be the next tenant. In the event, the owners of this Piggly Wiggly had time remaining on their lease and elected not to go anywhere.
Now the lease has ended, and apparently the property owners did not want to renew. This store, often called The Social Pig because Shandon neighbors often ran into each other here closed on 28 March.
This location is not particularly close to me, so I did not stop in that often over the years, but the few times I did, it was fine, and I got what I needed.
It's unclear to me whether Lidl is in fact moving in, but for now probably the Food Lion at Devine & Fort Jackon Boulevard is probably the closest non-specialty grocery.
You can read about the closing here & here, and the store's farewell message is on their Facebook along with the note that store fixtures are to be sold off on 15 April.

The spot where it says "Bye-Bye Love You All" actually had a vintage Piggly Wiggly Pig plush tied to the pole last time I went there, but I guess they took him down now. I took a photo of it if you want to include it here!

Newspapers records indicate this opened in 1975. It definitely expanded and renovated at least once.
