L. L. Stone, who in October purchased the self-service Piggly Wiggly store in Minot, announces the formal opening of his store on Friday and Saturday of this week. Mr. Stone has had a force of decorators busy at his store, completely redecorating the place and he has added fruit and vegetable counters and making other improvements. Mr. Stone before coming to Minot, operated the Quality Grocery in Dickinson for nearly five years and prior to that time, was engaged in the food business in Moorhead, Minn.

Why We Chose It

The Piggly Wiggly holds an almost mythological place in both Minot and across the country. If anyone understands why, I’d love to know.
