Yep, Yep and Double Yep.
3 years ago hubster retired after 30 years with the company.
Sweet!
 
When you work for Publix you are given company stock.
So you WANT the company to be the best it can be because it lines your pocket.

All of my children worked for them at one time or another.
High school, during college and my eldest is with them again.
Second son has been approached so many times to return for their chef program.
He's biding his time and doing his chef 'thang' before settling down to a job with actual benefits. 

Publix which is headquartered here in Lakeland covers FL.
Now has stores/headquarters/warehouses in GA, AL, TN, NC, SC.
They are branching out to DC and Maryland in the future years.
Rumor'd to be announced this month is moving into KY, also.
KY makes sense...they can use a soon to be hub going up in NC.

Thanks for posting, Scoot!

Not bad for a company that started here in Po-Dunk Lakeland.

The only place I shop when I'm in Florida every year. And by God, they're everywhere!

You're right, Publix is everywhere in FL.
Well, lemme rephrase that...
If the demographics pan out for $$$ income of the area, a Publix will go in.
If income isn't up to the numbers they require or if a neighborhood goes down in income, No Publix.

Thanks for helping my husband's retirement account everytime you shop you with Publix, Bobby.

And goodness, those Publix Subs...so good!
Rumored that Publix has researched opening their own Pub Sub outlets right next to the stores. Think of it as they opened their own liquor stores but next door to the Publix store.
