Publix

Publix Super Markets Charities is donating $100,000 to the American Red Cross to support relief efforts in affected areas.

Publix’s sales were $12.9 billion for the first three months ending June 25, 2022, a 9.3% increase from $11.8 billion in 2021.

Located at Beaufort Plaza in Beaufort, S.C., the store offers access to such groceries as dairy, frozen food, seafood, meat and fresh produce.

The store is expected to feature a drive-thru Publix Pharmacy and adjacent Publix Liquors in its first location outside the state of Florida.

Aside from in-store shopping, the store offers order-ahead curbside pickup and home delivery powered by Instacart.

Publix is working with Instacart to offer residents in Miami’s Brickell, Coral Gables and Wynwood neighborhoods 15-minute delivery on essentials.

Recipients receive a personalized award, a feature in an internal company publication, dinner with Publix executives, three days off with pay, and $5,000 donated to the charity or charities of their choosing.

Mark Irby, retired Publix vice president of marketing, was elected to the retailer’s board of directors.
