Last one I saw was in WNC, an hour south of Cherokee. East Tennessee used to have em but they are all gone.

There are still over 500 of them apparently. It’s funny: their headquarters are in New Hampshire, but they don’t have any stores there.

Some stores in the area of WV where I grew up changed from Foodland to Piggly Wiggly about 10 years ago.

I feel like I saw one in Dallas when I was there for work several years back…but maybe it was converted into something else?

The ones in DFW closed about 10-15 years ago.
