In 1916, Clarence Saunders boasted to the Commercial Appeal, “Piggly Wiggly will be born not with a silver spoon in his mouth, but with a workshirt on his back.”  This scrappy attitude probably appealed to President Charles Diehl who worked just as tirelessly to birth a college in Memphis. In honor of Rhodes History Day, celebrating the anniversary of the first day of classes in Memphis on September 24, 1925, this episode explores the role the founder of the world's first self-service grocery store played in the college's move to Memphis. This episode is hosted by Maggie Kreis and Kenan Padgett.  Editing by Sarah Monroe.  Music for this episode is performed by Professor Tom Bryant.

Spôsom, akým ľudia nakupujú tovary, sa vyvíjal pomerne pomaly.  V 16. Storočí tovary prešli vo väčšine prípadov iba menšie vzdialenosti - napríklad obilniny 8 až 16, vlna asi 30 až 60, mäso okolo stovky kilometrov.  Prvé stále obchody, nahrádzajúce tradičné trhy,  s pravidelnými otváracími hodinami sa v Európe začali objavovať koncom 16 a začiatkom 17 storočia. Išlo však o viac osobný predaj, kedy obchodníci svojich klientov poznali určite lepšie, ako je tomu dnes.  Pretočíme o niekoľko storočí dopredu, konkrétne k dátumu 6. September 1916. Až vtedy vznikla vôbec prvá samoobsluha na svete, v americkom Memphise v štáte Tennessee. Obchodník Clarence Saunders otvoril svoje Piggly Wiggly a to aj napriek počiatočnému skepticizmu. Vo vojnou zmietanej Európe sme si na samoobsluhy museli logicky pár rokov počkať, napríklad vo Francúzsku otvorili prvú až v roku 1948. V Československu to bolo 1. júna 1955. O predajni na Husitskej ulici na pražskom Žižkove vyšiel článok vo Večernej Prahe. Dala sa v ňom nájsť aj mapa, ktorá čitateľom ukázala, ako sa v obchode pohybovať a kde čo nájsť. Dnes je situácia celkom iná. Drony, obchody bez pokladníc, roboty, maloobchod sa modernizuje. Ako? Odpovedá redaktorka ekonomickej redakcie denníka SME Daniela Hajčáková. Index je týždenný podcast denníka SME s moderátormi Nikolou Bajánovou a Adamom Valčekom.

In this episode of Memphis Type History: The Podcast, Rebecca meets with Caroline Mitchell Carrico at the Pink Palace to learn the insane story of the man who started Piggly Wiggly and the concept of grocery stores as we know them today. Hear how he lost it all in a gamble and then started the brilliant process back over.   Caroline Mitchell Carrico is the Supervisor of Exhibits and Graphic Services at the Memphis Pink Palace Museum. That means she researches and writes for the exhibits at the museum and also has a hand at the designs and installations of the exhibits as well. The massive project they have been working on is a complete redesign of the Pink Palace mansion. She’s been working on it for about 3 years now. You'll hear a little bit about what we can expect to find in the new layout. Clarence Saunders, The Idea Man Caroline gives a bit of Clarence Saunders job history. One of his first jobs was at a country store. You could buy anything you want to there. That’s where his start was and then through a series of job transitions, he landed as a Wholesale Drummer in Memphis. That’s the person who would go to all the different country stores and drum up business. He would convince the store owners to buy things and talk to them about how to improve their sales and improve their products. He developed enough ideas to decide he wanted to start up his own store. Carolynn talks about how he got together with a group of other store owners and started the United Stores company in town, where they did bulk purchasing. And she also talks about how the old country stores ran during this time. The Birth of Piggly Wiggly Clarence decided his store would be a cash-only store, and it would be a self-service grocery store. He set up the store so that you had to walk through the entire store through a serpentine path so you had to walk through every item. At first, people had to rent a shopping basket but then he quickly changed that so you could just borrow the shopping basket at the front and then the only time you interacted with the staff was at the end of the store when you were paying. At the time, a lot of grocery stores let you order your items and they would deliver it to you. But Clarence did away with that. People bought their items and took it home with them. The store we’re talking about is Piggly Wiggly and Clarence Saunders made sure to patent the self service design. He actually got numerous patents, such as the store fixtures. There were arguments that there were already other self service style stores but Clarence was the first person to franchise it and turn it into a really big model that fundamentally changed the way that we shop. Carolyn says Clarence Saunders did his own advertising as well and it was quite the advertisement. Here's an ad she provided for our reading enjoyment.  His store also essentially changed advertising for products as well because if people were now passing through goods and deciding which products to buy, businesses would need to make sure their product stood out from the others. So Why the Name Piggly Wiggly? One story is he was on a train and saw a bunch of pigs wiggling to get under a fence. Another story is during time he opened the store there was syndicated stories that ran in the newspaper called Uncle Wiggly’s bedtime tales and people speculate that it may have come from that. It’s also possible that he just completely made up a funny name to be memorable but also possibly so to easily find people who were infringing on his copyright. He sued Hogglety Wogglety stores in Missouri and won because it was similar to his concept and name. But Then He Lost it All Saunders was the President of the corporation and he with the board of directors decided to list Piggly Wiggly stock at the New York Stock Exchange to raise capital. You'll have to listen to the episode to get the 101 on the stock market and how a sneaky plan backfired on Saunders, causing him to lose the company. Did We Mention The Pink Palace Was Intended To Be His Mansion? While the whole stock market incident happened, his mansion was still getting built (The Pink Palace). When he lost everything, the inside of the mansion wasn’t complete and he couldn’t live in it. He declared bankruptcy and lost the mansion and the estate which included Chickasaw Gardens and the Memphis lake. The plans for the Pink Palace was for it to be a millionaires playground. It was going to have a bowling alley, an indoor swimming pool, a Roman atrium, ballroom, a trout stream, a ridiculous amount of bedrooms. And as fascinating as this estate is, history also tells us that he cleared people off of this land so he could have it. Families were living on the property when he purchased it and they were forced to move and their houses were burnt to clear the land. What ended up happening is the Garden Development Corporation from Kentucky purchased the land and mansion at the bankruptcy auction, they subdivided the neighborhood and created Chickasaw Gardens. At the time this was just outside the city. However, they didn’t know what to do with the mansion. They gave the property to the city with the expectation that it would become either a museum or art gallery or art conservancy and they wrote into the contract that it would only be for caucasian race because you know.. this was 1920. At the time there was already the Brooks Art Museum, The James Lee Art Academy was up and strong as an art conservancy, what the city didn’t have was a natural History museum. So they decided to turn the Pink Palace into the city’s Cultural and Natural History Museum. And by the way, make sure to listen to the episode to hear additional fun facts about the mansion, such as how Clarence had a different name for it, its beginning days as a museum, and who the actual first people were to live inside it. Clarence Saunders Stores was the name of his second grocery store. And then he was sued by Piggly Wiggly because they said his name was synonymous with Piggly Wiggly. The corporation lost the lawsuit and Saunders kept the rights to his name. So he named it Clarence Saunders Sole Owner of My Name Stores. Clarence started building a second millionaire's playground further out East. It’s where the Lighterman Nature Center is today. Caroline thinks he called it Woodlawn. The guy was an avid golf player and built another golf course which was the longest golf course in the world at that time. He had built another lake and another house but this time he lost his business to the great depression and sold his estate to Bill Terry, the famous baseball player and manager for the Giants.  Things Are Better In Threes Clarence started a third grocery store and named it Keedoozle. It stood for "Key Does it All." The concept was to make it an automated grocery store where you would go in and take your key (the big metal box-like thing) and you would stick it in the drawers of the items you wanted for it to punch your key and then you’d take your key to the check out line where a machine would read your key and a conveyor belt system would bring your items out. The idea was to not have to carry anything until the end. Unfortunately it had lots of problems since it was a bit ahead of its time.   For full show notes, visit memphistypehistory.com/saunders

After we finished our pilot on the history of the supermarket we realized that Clarence Saunders, the man who created Piggly Wiggly, deserved more attention. Every time we shop Saunders innovations are at play. But more than that, he was a self-made man who crashed and burned not once, not twice but three times. Brash and charismatic, he died in the 1950s while trying to develop a computer automated supermarket he wanted to call FoodElectric. We think that you too will be wondering why hasn't anyone made a movie about this guy yet. .

Matt and Jeremy interview Mike freeman about the man who made grocery stores what they are today.

Wir springen wieder 100 Jahre zurück und beschäftigen uns diesmal mit den ersten Selbstbedienungssupermärkten der Welt. Der Lebensmittelhändler Clarence Saunders eröffnete 1916 in Memphis, Tennessee, ein kleines Geschäft unter dem Namen Piggly Wiggly. Er stellte seinen Kunden als erster Einkaufskörbe zur Verfügung und etablierte eine Technik, die uns heute selbstverständlich erscheint: Drehkreuze bzw. Vereinzelungsanlagen.
