I've never heard of this chain. The website, which you kindly supplied,
says concerning the name:
"Saunders' reason for choosing the intriguing name Piggly Wiggly®
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."
