The existing structure is a single story commercial building of modest materials and simple form. The building was originally built as a Piggly Wiggly grocery store, which is significant to Memphis history. The Liquor business began in the front half of the structure in the mid 1960’s and is characterized by an iconic rotating neon-spiked star, “sputnik”, which is now protected as a landmark by the surrounding historic district.
