CHARLESTON, S.C. (AP) - Piggly Wiggly officials said the grocery
store chain has laid off about 30 workers due to the economic
downturn.
The Post and Courier of Charleston reported Tuesday the company
laid off 26 workers at its corporate offices and two warehouses.
The move last Friday followed the layoff of 17 mechanics after
Piggly Wiggly Carolina Co. sold its truck fleet to Ryder Systems
about two months ago. The newspaper reported 10 of those workers
took other jobs with the supermarket chain or Ryder.
The 61-year-old Charleston-based chain employs about 5,000
people and operates 115 stores in the Carolinas and Georgia.
