About Business
Publix Super Markets, traded as Publix, was established by George W. Jenkins in 1930. The company is located in Lakeland, Florida, United States and operates as a private corporation, owned entirely by its current and former employees along with the Jenkins family members. In 1951, Publix shifted its main offices from Winter Haven to Lakeland, Florida, establishing its inaugural distribution warehouse at the new location. The company also specializes in manufacturing facilities that produce deli, dairy, bakery, and other food products. The first Publix in-store pharmacy, based in Altamonte Springs, Florida, was launched on 30 October 1986. Publix is one of the biggest companies in the U.S., and it is owned by its employees.
