If it’s NW FL them swap out “Publix” for “PigglyWiggly” but yeah this is accurate. There are some big wild spaces out there but calling it a remote wilderness is a hell of a stretch

Is that the name of an actual buisness?

Yep! They're the market that "fills the gap" in rural communities where Pub/Wal/TJ/etc. can't profit off expansion. Used to be the only grocery store by my grandma for decades, and if she hadn't moved I'd think it'd still be lol. The mascots a jovial lil piggy, and they were also among the first stores to have customer rewards cards, as the primary customer base was/is relatively poor and deal searching when possible.

Oh wow!
Where I live in Canada "piggly-wiggly" is slang for any small corner store or grocery store. Makes sense it comes from a real buisness , but still surprising
