Wow, what have you heard about a possible Publix? I grew up in Fla. & it's a great
grocery chain. We are a little far out of their distribution network, so any info would be
greatly appreciated! I would put Publix on par with Harris Teeter's & better than
Kroger.
Thanks,
Vanessa

Hello! I heard with the loss of (2) of our
long-standing grocery stores (Kroger) there may be a replacement of those to another chain
of stores (Publix's). A little bit of history on this chain it was founded in 1930 by
Mr. George W. Jenkins in Winter Havens, Florida and it is one of the fastest growing
employee-owned companies in the U. S. in 2005 the Co. reached it's 1000th store. There
are stores in FL., GA., SC., AL., TENN. most are on the Southern East coast of course why
not NC.? I will stay on top of this and keep all informed to learn more about them go to
www.publix.com .
