At #628, Tampa, Fla., managers used CEO Ed Crenshaw’s message about company ownership to excite associates. Managers took pictures of each associate in the store and created a collage. Then, they molded the collage in the shape of a bottle and hung it on a board in the break room. Associates were excited to see their pictures on the wall, and they look forward to seeing new photos each time associates are hired.

Store Manager Kevin Wing came up with the idea to create this 3-D display after hearing Ed’s message during the 2013 Retail Operations Conference. He wanted to help associates understand what makes Publix different and how we achieve success. Kevin believes company ownership is the secret sauce, and associates should understand how significant that is.

“The bottle has been a great visual aid to illustrate the rewards and responsibilities of being an owner of Publix,” said Kevin. “I couldn’t be more proud of the effort and enthusiasm my team put into making the secret sauce a masterpiece.”
