The Pink Palace is the name given to the home Clarence Saunders who had revolutionized grocery shopping with the opening of the first Piggly Wiggly grocery store in 1916. Unfortunately, Saunders went bankrupt before he ever finished his "Pink Palace," and the building was acquired by the city of Memphis for use as a museum of cultural and natural history. The museum contains exhibits on the history of the Piggly Wiggly, Elvis, and other Memphis history.
