Piggly Wiggly — Local services in Kinston

If you haven’t strutted through the aisles of Piggly Wiggly, are you even grocery shopping, or are you just surviving? This place is more than a store—it’s a Southern institution, a sanctuary of snack-filled bliss, and the only place where grabbing a buggy (yes, not a cart) feels like the start of a grand adventure.

The selection? Impeccable. Whether you need farm-fresh produce, crispy fried chicken that could make a preacher slap the pulpit, or enough sweet tea to keep a hummingbird buzzing for days, The Pig has got you covered.

Now, as Eastern North Carolina’s pest control experts, D & D Pest Control Co. knows a thing or two about top-tier quality (because, trust me, pests have terrible taste). When we’re stocking up for our team, Piggly Wiggly is the go-to grocery haven. From coffee strong enough to wake up a hibernating bear to biscuits so fluffy they’d make a cloud jealous, this place keeps us fueled and ready to battle the bugs.

The staff? Sweeter than a pecan pie at Sunday dinner. The prices? So good, you'll wonder if they’ve been bitten by a discount bug (don’t worry—we handle those too). And that adorable, curly-tailed logo? An icon. If I could put it on my work uniform, I would.

So if you're in Eastern North Carolina and craving the best of the best, let me hypnotize you into rolling up to Piggly Wiggly. Just beware—once you start shopping here, no other grocery store will ever feel right again.

I would normally shop here daily to grab supplies for dinner on the way home but the food quality has been atrocious lately. My fiancé purchased coffee creamer that was in date yet curdled and spoiled, I’ve gotten energy drinks that were fermented, had Italian sausage that had me puking at 4 am, two nights ago I made chili with this store’s ground beef that gave us all the runs, and today the last straw being these Hawaiian rolls covered in fuzzy mold (don’t even get me started on the fruit).

I know it may seem like a “me” and cooking problem but I’ve cooked professionally for seven years to the point I was paid to travel the country to train kitchen staff, I was ServSafe certified, and managed food shipments and orders multiple times a week. I know what food neglect and mishandling looks like and this is it. My guess is cold product is sitting out waiting to be put away on the floor for HOURS (food doesn’t just spoil like this unless it becomes room temperature and then put away), bread shouldn’t be molding like this unless there’s a moisture issue somewhere, and canned product definitely shouldn’t be fermenting when in date.

I loved this store but I can no longer justify the money wasted or consistently rolling of the dice on whether my food is rotten or not and lately it’s more often than not.
