It was a ROC to remember! Here are some highlights from our leaders’ presentations.

Senior Vice President of Retail Operations
Norman Badger

On operational excellence
“Our stores may look different and have different offerings, but that’s not what makes a store successful. What makes us successful is our associates.”

Vice President of Benefits Administration
Monica Allman

On the benefit of company ownership
“Starting with the 1st store, Mr. George believed in profit sharing and employee ownership. His philosophy and legacy live on today through our PROFIT Plan, 401(k) SMART Plan and Employee Stock Purchase Plan. Company ownership is one of the greatest benefits an employer can offer its associates.”

Vice President of Associate Experience
Marcy Benton

On the impact of our benefits
“Our benefits provide a proactive focus on our associates’ overall well-being and health. They’re a lifeline during a health crisis, time off for a child’s graduation or a well-earned retirement after a long career. They represent real impacts to our associates and their families.”

Vice President of Manufacturing
Doug Harris

On our manufacturing facilities
“By having Publix associates make our products, we know they’re made by people who care about meeting our high standards, including using the highest-quality ingredients.”

Vice President of Real Estate Strategy & Operations
Bridgid O’Connor

On our real estate growth
“There is tremendous growth opportunity across our operating area. In real estate, it’s all about ‘location, location, location,’ and the Southeast is where it’s at!”
