The Secret Ingredient Behind Florida’s Most Beloved Supermarket Chain
It wasn’t just the clean stores or the friendly staff—it was a deeper promise that kept folks loyal for life. Travel through the decades to uncover the heartwarming values that built a brand as familiar as sweet tea and Sunday dinner.
To me, there is just NO substitute for the Publix shopping experience! I first discovered Publix when I moved to Florida in 2003. I quickly came to discover what the “hub bub” over Publix was all about in my new neighborhood. Shortly after my first shopping trip to my local store, I was amused to find out that I had been selected to mystery shop Publix locations through one of the companies with whom I was a subcontractor. THAT truly opened my eyes to the vision of Mr. Jenkins. Moving to Charleston, SC ten years later, I found myself working part-time at the Johns Island store. I absolutely loved it. My entire Publix experience has now come full circle and I, once again, am a loyal Publix shopper. Some of the staff at my Port Orange store are now my dearest of friends. So, YES!!! Shopping IS a pleasure when you shop at Publix.
