Alabama summers don’t quit—and neither does grilling season.
When the calendar flips to August, many think the sizzle of summer starts to fade. But here in Birmingham, the grill stays hot well past July. Whether it’s a casual backyard cookout, a back-to-school bash, or a tailgate to kick off football season, grilling remains a Southern staple—and Piggly Wiggly Birmingham is here to keep your flames fired up.
As the kids head back to school and college football season approaches, August brings a perfect blend of celebration, tradition, and community. And at the heart of it all? Great food, grilled to perfection.
“The summer heat may linger, but so does the flavor. August is perfect for backyard BBQs, football kickoffs, and grilling one more round with the family.”
Why August Is Still Prime Grilling Time
In Alabama, grilling isn’t just a summertime activity—it’s a way of life. The smoky scent of ribs on the grill, the crackle of charcoal under chicken thighs, the sound of laughter drifting from porches and patios—this is what August feels like.
Even as school routines return and football kicks off, our weekends stay packed with:
- Back-to-school BBQs that bring neighbors and classmates together one last time before the fall rush
- Tailgating parties for Alabama and Auburn games, where the grill is as essential as the jersey
- Church picnics and family reunions, where tradition meets the taste of home
- Neighborhood gatherings on cooler August nights, sharing watermelon slices and grilled corn under string lights
Make every August gathering unforgettable with perfectly grilled meats from Piggly Wiggly Birmingham—your one-stop shop for fresh, local BBQ essentials.
“At Piggly Wiggly, we’re more than your neighborhood grocer—we’re part of your summer memories, backyard meals, and Friday night tailgates.”
