Our wonderful volunteer David Frahlman has kindly shared this picture of his Grandfather's grocery store. This is Roy C. Richardson and his United Grocers supermarket in the former Piggly Wiggly store on Marietta and Oakland in 1941. The building is still there, currently a church. Look at all the old brands! How different shopping is now. Have a great weekend Decatur!
