It was my understanding that "Piggly Wiggly" stores were originally set up so
that shoppers had to travel a certain way up and down aisles to reach certain
purchases.  Sort of the way our local Wal-mart Supercenter has the milk as far
away from the front door as possible! Lady Leanna of Sparrowhaven

remains a
mystery; he was curiously reluctant to explain its origin. One
story is that he saw from a train window several little pigs struggling to
get under a fence, and the rhyming name occurred to him then.
Someone once asked him why he had chosen such an unusual name
for his organization, and Saunders' reply was, 'So people will ask that
very question.'  He wanted and found a name that would be talked about
and remembered."
