Today, the Piggly Wiggly stores are still part of the Topco co-op, offering the finest store brands products under the Food Club, Valu Time and Top Care labels. In order to accomplish this, in the mid-1950’s, the company became a member of a large purchasing cooperative known as Topco Associates, Inc. With the continued growth, the Company recognized the need to have a strong nationally accepted private label program. The nucleus of the present 104 store retail group traces its origin to the early Piggly Wiggly franchisers located in Sturgeon Bay, Manitowoc, Green Bay, and Kaukauna. In 1949, the Company entered into a franchise agreement enabling it to use the “Piggly Wiggly” name for the first time in southern and eastern Wisconsin. With a new facility, along with new produce and frozen food departments, the Company was able to offer "Buy Low,” the voluntary retail group it was servicing, a greater selection of food products. The Company’s growth continued so that in 1946 the Company broadened its grocery distribution services to include fresh produce and frozen foods. The Company grew from its modest beginnings as “The Schultz Brothers Company” in 1911 throughout that decade and by 1920, the name was changed to “Schultz Brothers Company Wholesale Grocers.” This program combines the strength and consistency of chain style centralized buying and merchandising with the locally tailored entrepreneurial management of a community-based retailer. Currently the Company operates corporate stores and services independent franchisees under a chain-style program.
