Piggly Wiggly

I waited at the deli for 10 minutes, I was up next when a older mexican guy jumped in and said enough of the white people then the mexican girl took his order. one of the other workers said wernt you next, I said yes I was. the mexican girl just ignored me and kept talking to the
was about 1030 am 6/2/16.I use to like piggly Wiggly but I guess Ill start going to pick n save.

Had to stop here to grab some milk and other items for my boy. Plenty of parking. Bones of the place have seen better days and it felt a little grungy. Infrastructure wouldn’t bother me that much if it made up for it with great prices, which this place did not. Just OK prices on staple items.

Staying at the Hyatt and this store was the only thing open we got to load up on supplies and get things the hotel does not have !! Which was great !!! The people were super friendly and the store has a great selection especially for being in Wisconsin

The coolest thing about this otherwise run-​of-​the-​mill big box grocery store is the HUGE selection of Mexican cooking ingredients, tons of fruits and veggies I’ve never tried using (yet!), and very fresh. They also have an extensive array of packaged foods from all over the world. Fun to browse!

Place beats the Pick N Saves nearby. Produce is pretty awesome.
Deli counter is okay… ladies there can be a bit snippy.
The Mexican bakery in the corner is excellent!
The chick with the do-​rag and neck tattoos with nothing but dry goods in her cart. She’s the bouncer for the place. Think twice about swiping some meat. She will beat your ass down in isle 5 and continue her phone call like nothing happened.
Watch out for old polish women with coupon pouches in the checkout lines. They will destroy time for others to save .30cents

The cashiers at this store need to be trained in good customer service skills prior to being put on the floor. It is obvious that most of the cashiers have no prior customer service experience. It is then the store’s responsibility to make sure these folks are properly trained or possess the proper skills before letting them run the register. This store is highly lacking in that area. Shameful!

When I quickly walked through this Piggly Wiggly, I noticed they offer a lot more ingredients that cater to Latin cuisine than most Piggly Wiggly stores. I must be honest I didn’t come to the store for the groceries. I was on a mission to buy the tres leches cake from the bakery my friend introduced me to.
The bakery is called Azteca Bakery and its located on the left side of the grocery store. It’s a small bakery that offer cakes, cookies, and other sweets.
I was worried at first considering the lady behind the counter started speaking Spanish to me. I didn’t quite understand what she said, but I spoke in English and pointed to the cake I wanted. I found out she can speak English and she was very friendly.
I ended up buying the vanilla tres leches for my friend’s birthday. It was nice that there were beautifully decorated ready-​made cakes to choose from the glass display case. I didn’t have to order it in. I love the moistness of the cake. I didn’t think it was too sweet. I must say the cake stayed moist and tasty even after staying in my fridge for 4 days (My friend and I couldn’t meet earlier). Of course, I wouldn’t recommend it to sit in the fridge for that long. It is meant to be eaten right away.
As for service, the staff was very nice. I was offered a free birthday topper for the cake I bought. Plus, they showed me a book of cakes for special occasions like weddings, baptisms, and more. The cake designs are more old fashioned, but I think they can work with you interests (I think… don’t quote me on that though). The prices for a cake that serves 150 people was about $ 200. I think that is a pretty good deal.
I will definitely come back to try the chocolate tres leches cake and other pastries.

This grocery store is about a 7 min drive from the airport. If you need to pick up groceries before or after your flight, come here.
It is a large grocery store with a really good selection of international foods. Lots of Indian, European, Mexican (mostly Goya products) and Asian food. The cheese selection, however, wasn’t as good as Woodman’s. They do have cheese curds at least and a basic selection of cheese.
The junk food aisle is good too– good variety of Chex mix, lots of chips.
You should get a store discount card to take advantage of the good prices.

Much better than the Pick ‘n Save around the block, plus, more fun to say than Pick ‘n Save. I think being able to say, Piggly Wiggly, out loud, is worth the shopping trip here alone. It never gets old for me. Reasonably clean, fair prices, adequate produce, and a surprising selection of Eastern European goods (four different brands of frozen pierogi!). The drawbacks, like for too many Milwaukee area supermarkets, not enough human beings working (I learned to shop at grocery stores in the 1970s, I like to have a well paid human cashier and a human bagger who knows how to double bag paper and fill to capacity, if I forget to bring in my canvas grocery bags), and very light on the seafood selections. Now, I’m going to tell a few people and a couple of cats that I just wrote up my Unilocal review on the Piggly Wiggly, the effort was worth it just so I get to say, Piggly Wiggly, out loud.

It’s better than some of the other grocery stores in the Milwaukee area. Hence the three stars. If you’ve been outside of Milwaukee you know what I’m talking about. Selection, prices, freshness, cleanliness. The butcher was talking directly into my sliced ham while weighing it out. My ham doesn’t like strangers.

The Butchers at Piggly Wiggly are the best. I like the meat here. I like the produce. The only thing I do not like about this Piggly Wiggly is there is no such thing as a quick trip in this store.
This is my only complaint the check out lines are too long. I just do not understand how a store in the afternoon when people are coming home from work and there are only 2 check out lanes open. This is not an occasional thing this happens often so much so that I do not frequent this store as much as I could. I actually drive further to Oakcreek or go to Pete Fruit Market or El Rey and guess what it is further away. but even with the longer drive I get in and out of the store in less time.

Clean, friendly staff, many international items, but some of the things I came for were pricier than other local options. I will come back if it is a matter of convenience.

Hello all,
My last review of this place was quite negative, but ALL THAT IS FIXED NOW. The produce department is a happy place, with a large selection of new items while retaining an emphasis on Latino specialties. As a lifelong cook I am very picky about the quality and freshness of produce. The vegetables are well kept, with attention being paid to freshness and keeping stock in good shape while on display. Fruit is usually good, but being selective and shopping with the seasons is always wise.
Excellent selection of Indian, Mexican and European packaged groceries. Delicious Mexican style bakery inside store separate from the bakery dept.
Thanks, Sal B., for being receptive to and tolerant of the demanding customer, and for the attention and work you and your team put into making things great in produce.

Easily the largest of the area’s Piggly Wiggly stores, I really don’t think there is another American chain grocery store that can match its large and diverse ethnic foods department in southeast Wisconsin.
Sure, grocery stores basically sell the same general merchandise, but here the
main attraction in my opinion is the rows of shelves containing products from
Latin America, Asia and surprisingly Europe.
Add to this large deli, meat and produce departments plus up to 10 doubled-​coupons $ 1 ($ 2) on weekends with a $ 25 minimum purchase and you have a winning combination. The store’s six or eight page weekly flyer also features bonus coupons and further savings can be had with its loyalty «Pig» Card. Everyone likes to save money and this is one place it can be done, especially on weekends.

A fellow Unilocaler encouraged me to give this Piggly Wiggly another shot. So I did. And I’ve been back many times just to make sure.
First, the meat department has remained clean (as far as the customer can see). Although, I still wouldn’t rate their quality of meat very high. It is what it is… mass produced.
What else?
Large produce selection. Very large selection of deli items. And my favorite thing about this store is their selection of ethnic foods. They have isles dedicated to German, Polish, Mexican, and Italian. It’s kinda cool, and they do have a good number of authentic items. It’s not just a few shelves of «Americanized» stuff.
Customer service still feels like it is generally lacking. And I avoid the customer service desk when I can.

I am impressed. This store offers many brands and products available in El Rey. The bread and other baked good are delicious. Shop the Pig!

This store can be frustrating. It may be slightly better than the Pick on Holt, but it’s still not great.
They started out with people actually bagging for you. It was retro and quite awesome. The last few times I’ve been in they haven’t had anyone bagging.
Bait and switch story showing poor customer service:
I went into the store with a «double coupon» thing and a few coupons. One of my manufacturer’s coupons was refused. They told me that corporate put it on a list to refuse. They further said that it was fraudulent. However, it’s available through a major retailer’s website, so I don’t believe it’s fraudulent.
I emailed corporate and gave them a chance to keep my business. I was contacted, but all I’ve received is the equivalent of «too bad so sad.»
It’s not the coupon amount, but the principle of the thing that gets me here. They could have a least apologized and comped me some minor thing. Rather they’ve dug in as if they did nothing wrong.
So there you go. It’s a grocery store. Like all the others except possible Outpost around here it’s not great.

I am thrilled this new grocery store opened in the area. I was nervous because the Pick and Save around the corner and Sentry that was previously in this building were both kind of dirty, really busy, and always missing the things I needed. Enter the Piggly Wiggly… Amazing customer service, great selection of produce, good prices… I am a happy camper. Now, there are a few things you need to know about this Pig, they have food from all over the globe and you should try some. I took a chance and bought some canned chickpea tahini mix to use as a base for hummus, it’s from Greece it couldn’t be half bad right? RIGHT– it was awesome! They have food from China, Italian, Germany, Poland and all over but what they really specialize in is carrying Central American specialties. What I like best about this is that they have people doing demos on Sunday and they will tell you all about what the food is and how to prepare it. The produce aisles are filled with things I have never even heard of. Sometimes I find that there are things I would get at say the Metro Market that I can’t find at the Pig such as Italian Turkey Sausage from the butcher, but I would say 95% of the time they have everything I need and more.
If you live in the area and you are tired of the same out store, I highly suggest trying this one out if for nothing else but to expand your palette with foreign delicacies!

PRICES ARE JUST GRAND
This place has some great specials. Ignore my first review – the place obviously just didn’t have sale signage up yet.
Soda went on sale this week, in addition to their regular loss leaders which change weekly.
On a side note: some of the staff are not bad to look at. Hey, grocery shopping isn’t exactly edge-​of-​your-​seat exciting – you’ve got to look at something. Their staff beats the battle-​axes at Pick N’ Save, hands down.

This store is brand spanking new as I write this review, so maybe they’ll get better. In short its just a nicer, cleaner, Hispanic reincarnate of Sentry. I was not a fan of Sentry when it was here.
It has fewer check outs then the previous store (smart… what store ever uses them all when they have so many?!). They have a card that you can use when you shop to earn gas money (not useful to us, we don’t drive). Things are pretty much in the same areas they were before the renovation, except for a Mexican bakery installation (cash only at the time of writing this, you don’t purchase this bakery with the rest of your groceries) and the floral moved. There is a second, regular grocery store bakery. I didn’t look hard but the area for buying lottery tickets and bus tickets/​passes moved or is non-​existent (I loved the convenience of that area!).
The store does feel a bit cramped, maybe I’m thinking back to the days of Sentry which was a little more spacious. I was hoping they would really do something to make this a place to go, something special. A better store to take the place of Sentry. But its only a little better. Its really just another mass market grocery store… not surprised but a little disappointed. Prices are not impressive for the merchandise they have on hand. The only major shift in the store has been a heavier Hispanic influence (pinatas, hispanic meat section? [didn’t get close enough to look], the bakery… this isn’t a bad thing it just isn’t that special «something» that makes me want to go there instead of another store). I went during the soft opening and heard two complaints from customers right off the bat.
Overall, meh its okay. I’ll still go to my regulars instead of here. I gave this store a 3 because if Sentry were still there I’d only give it a 2 and I said this place is a slight improvement on the old. Also, my inlaws say the meat is better here (I’ll take their word on it, I don’t eat the stuff).
