Students at the University of Texas at Austin need access to affordable and healthy grocery options. Students on campus are limited to expensive food at nearby restaurants, Target, or canned produce at University Housing and Dining (e.g., J2, Kinsolving).

For over a century, Piggly Wiggly has been proven to be a reliable, trustworthy, and cost-effective option for grocery shopping. Brought to you from the east coast, there is no better-centralized location for a Piggly Wiggly than the Moody College of Communication. Communication students can gain hands-on experience as marketing managers, product designers, or join a 4-year advertising rotational development program with Piggly Wiggly. This would be an invaluable experience that sets the University of Texas at Austin's communications program apart from other top schools in the nation. Replacing Moody with a Piggly Wiggly grocery store would benefit all.
