Publix Headquarters Address, Corporate Office Location, and Contact Details
About
Publix Super Markets, Inc. is the largest employee-owned supermarket chain in the United States, headquartered at 3300 Publix Corporate Parkway, Lakeland, Florida 33811 — a large corporate campus in Lakeland, the central Florida city that has been Publix’s home since its founding and headquarters since 1956. Publix was founded on September 6, 1930, by George W. Jenkins — who opened the first Publix store in Winter Haven, Florida, after leaving a Piggly Wiggly store he had managed — with a founding philosophy built on employee ownership, customer service excellence, and a uniquely Floridian retail culture.
Publix’s most defining characteristic is its employee ownership model: all Publix stock is held by current and retired employees — the company is not publicly traded and has no outside shareholders. This structure, combined with profit sharing, creates an exceptionally loyal and motivated workforce — and is directly responsible for Publix’s consistent ranking as one of America’s best employers. Publix employs 240,000+ associates and generates approximately $59 billion in annual revenue, making it one of the largest private companies in the United States.
Publix operates 1,300+ supermarkets across eight southeastern US states: Florida (790+ stores), Georgia (195+ stores), Alabama (90+ stores), South Carolina (70+ stores), Tennessee (55+ stores), North Carolina (50+ stores), Virginia (45+ stores), and Kentucky (20+ stores). The company is the dominant supermarket in Florida with approximately 35–40% market share in its home state.

About the Lakeland HQ campus: Publix’s campus in Lakeland, Florida, spans multiple buildings and facilities across the greater Lakeland area — including the 3300 Publix Corporate Parkway executive offices, the 1936 George Jenkins Boulevard manufacturing and supply purchasing facility, and distribution centers at 501 N Galloway Road. The Lakeland campus is named in honor of Publix’s founder George W. Jenkins — the George Jenkins Boulevard address is a deliberate tribute to the company’s founding family — and has been Publix’s operational heart since the 1950s. Publix’s commitment to Lakeland reflects the same community-rootedness that characterizes its founding philosophy: Jenkins explicitly built Publix as a Florida institution with deep obligations to the communities it serves, and the Lakeland headquarters has been a major civic anchor for Polk County for seven decades.
