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.

Close but Al Porche (he lived off of Cloverdale and is now living in Orange Beach working on a golf course) owned Acadian and there was a loose partnership between he and Jerry but each had their "own store". They also both jointly owned a piggly wiggly on Burbank for a short period.. And both the Acadian and bocage were Piggly wiggly stores at one point in there history
