Prices at the Piggly Wiggly:


The same location, and building, today:

"U Bett It Hurts" Tattoo parlor, formerly Casper's Piggly Wiggly.

 


This building appears to be empty, and it also appears to have been divided into sections.  The portion to the left of the photo was clearly once part of the overall business front.

That business was Casper's Piggly Wiggly.  It appears to have been stores second location, an earlier one was downtown on 2nd Street.

At some point it became a tattoo parlor.  I can recall it being that, but I can't recall when.  The art advertising the tattoo parlor is horrible, so I doubt it attracted many customers in and of itself.
