Publix Super Markets

Like other grocers, Publix thrived during the pandemic as people increasingly cooked at home and consolidated shopping at fewer places. The 1,264-store Florida-based chain took a number of steps to safeguard its workers’ well-being. Publix added mental health care to its benefits, paid for employees’ coronavirus treatment, and compensated workers who were exposed to the virus and had to quarantine. Publix also launched an initiative to source more produce and milk locally, donating these supplies to anti-hunger groups.
