Question: Which Tennessee city is home to the first Piggly Wiggly?

Answer: Piggly Wiggly, founded by Clarence Saunders in Memphis, Tennessee, in 1916, was America’s first self-service grocery store. At that time, shoppers ordered groceries from clerks, leading to inefficiency. Saunders recognized this problem and innovated a self-service model that transformed the grocery industry.
