I don't really remember for sure now and would have to call all of them again to be certain what values they doubled. I think they are individually owned which is why they are not consistent on coupons.
Most Piggly Wiggly stores are locally owned and operated, allowing the individual owners and managers to set their own prices. Their are some exceptions, such as Piggly Wiggly Carolina, which operates a chain of Piggly Wiggly stores in the Carolinas and Georgia. Southern Family Markets, the new owner of Bruno's and FW, also runs about 30 PW stores. It is interesting that the trademark name "Piggly Wiggly" is owned by C&S Wholesale Grocers, the parent company of Southern Family Markets.

It is also interesting to see everyone's opinions of the "new" Food World. From reading the comments, it appears to be just the same garbage that Bruno's has been up to for years. They just have a different company doing it now. It is only a matter of time before what is left of the company folds. Their only hope is to be bought by someone who really will make some real changes.
