Lessons From Our Founder
Mr. George built our company on a set of values that make Publix special to us, our customers and our communities.
His philosophies are summarized into these 6 lessons, which ultimately can be wrapped up in one commitment: Do the right thing.
Mr. George felt nothing was worth getting in the way of doing the right thing, and his lessons continue to guide us today as the foundation of our Publix culture.

Be There

Respect Dignity
If anyone had a problem or just wanted to talk, Mr. George vowed there would be no barriers; his door would always be open.
