Looking back at 2014, it’s amazing how much we’ve accomplished as a company. And, you’re to thank for it. We always say Publix associates are our best asset, and it’s true. Year after year, you prove why Publix is a great place to work and demonstrate to our customers why we’re the place where shopping is a pleasure.

It’s been a busy year, and we’re showing no signs of slowing down in 2015. For a company our size, that’s great news! We have a lot to look forward to next year.

But, even though you’re working hard every day to make Publix the premier quality food retailer in the world, it’s also important to take time for yourselves. The holidays were always special for Mr. George, and he encouraged associates to spend quality time with their families this time of year. Today is no different. This holiday season, we want you to enjoy the holidays with your loved ones and reflect on all you have to be proud of this year.

We look forward to an exciting 2015, when we’ll celebrate our 85th anniversary and share a little more about the Publix culture and what makes us different.

We wish you and your families a wonderful holiday season and a prosperous new year.
