The holidays are an exciting time that allows us the opportunity to engage with different types of customers who are interested in food.

Some of our customers are hosting their first holiday gatherings and don’t really know where to start, so they can feel overwhelmed. Wouldn’t it be great if we could use our knowledge to show them cooking can be fun?

Other customers like to explore new and different items. They may even want their holiday meals to be a sampling of traditions throughout the world. With our selection of products, we can make that happen.

Regardless of which type of customer you’re helping, show them where to find different products and let them try them. Allow our customers to experience the uniqueness of the products we have. Helping our customers explore the store is becoming increasingly important to them, and I know you can show them the Publix difference. It should be exciting for us to help our customers make memories.

I know you’re serving additional customers at work and may be preparing for guests in your home too, so it can be easy to run out of time and patience. Let’s do what we do best — turn this chaotic time into a chance to make the holidays even more special.

I want to thank each of you and wish you a happy holiday. And since I can’t reach every customer we have, I hope you will extend these wishes to them, too.

Thanks for all you do.

Todd Jones
