Fox Bros. Piggly Wiggly
Southeastern Wisconsin’s Only 100% Employee Owned Grocery Store.
Menu
We are proud to be 100% Employee-Owned.
In 2016, Fox Bros.’ original owners, Pat and Lori Fox, wanted to give back to the team members that made Fox Bros. successful – so they decided to sell the company back to the employees – making Fox Bros. 100% employee owned. Because of this, participants in the Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) share in the success of Fox Bros. Each year participants are distributed shares at no cost – if they work a minimum of 1,000 hours throughout the calendar year – which is about 20 hours per week. The more hours worked – the more shares earned – the larger the ESOP account!
Come join us as an owner and start building a foundation for your future!
Unlike your 401(k), participation in the ESOP has no cost to you and is a free benefit of being a team member at Fox Bros. Each year, team members have the opportunity to earn shares (for free) that go towards their own ESOP account. As the value of Fox Bros. increases, so do the accounts of the employee owners.
- Participating in the Plan is a benefit of working for Fox Brothers Piggly Wiggly, Inc.
- Newly hired team members enter the plan on one of four dates (January 1st, April 1st, July 1st or October 1st) after meeting the following three (3) conditions outlined below:
- – Work a minimum of 12 months
- – Complete 1,000 hours of service, about 20 hours per week.
- – Attainment of age 19 at any point during the plan year
You earn a year of vested service for each Plan Year you work 1,000 hours
Your vested percentage is determined based on your years of vested service and the vesting schedule:
1 year of service as a plan participant – 0% vesting
2 years of service as a plan participant – 20% vesting
3 years of service as a plan participant – 40% vesting
4 years of service as a plan participant – 60% vesting
5 years of service as a plan participant – 80% vesting
6 years of service as a plan participant – 100% vesting

Why our ESOP Keeps Growing
Over the past six years Fox Bros. Piggly Wiggly has seen its share price increase from $1.95 to $24.33. This type of growth isn’t an anomaly.
It is a result of:
Our Team Members: Our team members truly believe in enthusiastically serving our customers, team members, and community to the best of our ability – this shared mindset results in a team commitment to those we serve.
Servant Leadership Based Culture: We believe the best way to serve our customers is to first serve our team members. The number one job of our leaders is to remove obstacles for our team members so the team members can devote everything they have to enthusiastically serve our customers.
Business Growth: since 2016 Fox Bros. has added three different locations (West Bend, Port Washington, and Beaver Dam).
Locally Owned and Operated: We believe in a commitment to our community because our owners live, work, and play in the communities we serve – and it doesn’t get more locally owned and operated than that.
Fox Bros. Piggly Wiggly is committed to taking care of the needs of our customers, our communities and our Team Members. At Fox Bros. we provide our team members with an environment that they enjoy working in and a place where they are truly valued. We offer positions of all kinds that meet the needs of those who come to work for us, from flexible scheduling, part time opportunities, full time opportunities as well as career growth opportunities.
The uniqueness of being the only 100% employee owned grocery store in southeastern Wisconsin offers additional benefits that you cannot find anywhere else. If you have a passion for people and are looking for a place where you are valued, then Fox Bros. is the right place for you as we are always looking for more owners.
