I was about 16 when they disappeared from Clear Lake City. One time I was in there close to closing time and saw the manager putting money in the safe. It was under the floor mat just inside the main entrance door!
After they closed up, a fabric store by the name of Hancock Fabrics moved in and is still there. It had to have looked strange but we were in there not long ago and the floor mat is still covering the safe. The employees must have thought I was out of my mind lifting the mat up to see if the safe was still there. It is.
Hancock's moved in after Piggily Wiggily moved out. I was the original Hancock Fabrics manager that opened that store July 4th, 1974. I had the original floor safe installed by Baker Safe & Lock Company just prior to opening.
