Piggly wiggly corporate office
"Although it has been a very difficult decision, the sale of Piggly Wiggly Midwest to C&S is a natural next step for this historic brand. A third distribution center is located in Milwaukee. Piggly Wiggly Midwest operates corporate stores and services independent franchisees under a chain-style program. Since 1911, Sheboygan, Wis., has been the home to Piggly Wiggly Midwest's headquarters where it has its corporate offices and two of its distribution centers. The C&S-Piggly Wiggly deal comes a few months after Price Chopper/Market 32 and Tops Markets announced a merger, nearly doubling their collective footprint in the Northeast. We consistently review opportunities to grow and expand into new geographies, segments and services to ensure the company's long-term success," said Rick Cohen, Executive Chairman, C&S Wholesale Grocers. It's this legacy that drives our unrelenting focus on innovative go-to-market strategies and customer service. "With more than 102 years in the rapidly changing grocery industry, the foundation of C&S's success has been our ability to adapt and innovate ahead of market trends to better serve our customers. The deal is anticipated to close by the end of July, subject to regulatory approval and other customary closing conditions. Piggly Wiggly's current distribution centers and offices will continue to operate. Consolidation fever continues to grip the grocery industry as New Hampshire-based C&S Wholesale Grocers announced Thursday that it is buying Wisconsin-based Piggly Wiggly Midwest.Īs part of the acquisition, C&S will operate 11 Piggly Wiggly Midwest corporate stores and service 14 Butera Market stores in the Chicagoland region, as well as 84 Wisconsin franchisees under the Piggly Wiggly brand.
