US Locations Map

Would someone be willing to edit the map? According to the map on their own website, they no longer have stores in Minnesota or Missouri, and they now have a store in New York and a couple in Texas. I don't understand how to edit SVG images; therefore, I'm wondering if someone else would be willing to do it. https://www.pigglywiggly.com/store-locations/ Thanks.

Im also noticing this issue but similarly don't have the capability to edit SVGs. I'm sure someone from commons could do it, though. BhamBoi (talk) 06:11, 7 January 2024 (UTC)Reply

First company to provide shopping carts

Latest comment: 1 year ago2 comments1 person in discussion

The article claims that In 1937, Piggly Wiggly became the first company to provide shopping carts for customers, in their Oklahoma branch;^[1] followed by the hidden comment Sylvan Goldman did own Piggly Wiggly stores, but did not invent cart until after leaving company. A similar claim was removed from Shopping cart after a discussion here. I believe that the claim is incorrect and should be removed.
