LOXLEY, Ala. — “I Dig the Pig”…

That catchphrase was on the lips of all those in attendance at the ribbon cutting and grand opening of the new Cain’s Piggly Wiggly Cost Plus store in Loxley on Wednesday morning. Several business leaders in the community joined owner Tommy Cain and members of the Central Baldwin Chamber of Commerce as they cut the ribbon and welcomed residents ito the newly named store.

Undergoing an extensive renovation inside with new paint and a more modern look and new asphalt and parking spaces outside, Cain greeted those who came by with a smile and some free giveaways.

“Because of the recent growth in the Loxley area and the downturn in the economy, I wanted to expand and change to meet the needs of the area. I’ve had a good relationship with the people of Loxley and they’ve supported Cain’s and I hope we have had a positive impact on our community. When I’ve had the opportunity to improve the store I have,” said Cain.

Along with a new name came new pricing, Cain said, with everything in the store (from meat to magazines) priced at their cost plus 10 percent added at the register, and because of increased volume the cost is much lower.

Big improvements made inside the store include doubling the size of both the fresh and smoked meat cases while the produce shelving was doubled as well. “In the summer I try to buy as much local produce as possible and to give customers more selection in the frozen food section, I added a new set of 16 frozen doors to the back wall,” Cain said.

The deli was also expanded with more preparation area and display space for a bigger selection from cakes to Boston butts and and additional checkout lane was added.

“One thing that didn’t change is the friendly, hometown atmosphere, quality products and the continued support of the community. And of course, we still have the butcher,” Cain said.
