Wasn't Calvin's a Piggly Wiggly at one time? I think I remember it being a PW, then Acadian Food Mart, then Calvin's
Close, but yes it was a PW as was a grocery store on Perkins road next to Juban's, the one on Perkins was Acadian, and Calvin's was just "Bocage" and the two store owners had a loose connection, I think they were even part of the IG chain at one time

Calvin's was Bocage IGA, Perkins at Acadian was Acadian IGA and Scenic Highway was Scenic IGA. Not Piggly Wiggly. All were owned by Mr. Zigler who lived in Jefferson Place. All real estate was leased. When he decided to get out of the grocery business and retire, he closed Acadian and Scenic. Calvin Lindsley at Bocage was his manager and had started working at that store while in the 9th grade as a bag boy. He knew nothing else and Dr. hill, who owns Bocage Shopping Center did not want to lose an anchor tenant so he offered to co sign the note for Calvin. Hence Calvin's Bocage Market was born. When I was a kid that was a Winn Dixie and next door was a TG&Y 5&Dime. A poster here's dad was the manager.
The Crifasis family owns Hi Nabor and they have deep pockets. Whether they want to keep competing is debateble but they could walk away and not be concerned. I guess we will see shortly.
