Description
Keedoozle (perhaps meaning "key does all") was an automated vending machine store designed by Clarence Saunders, the founder of Piggly Wiggly stores in Memphis in 1937. The concept was not a success because the technology kept breaking down and the last of the three stores closed in 1948.
