Publix

IT staffers picked Publix as great employer for the fourth time in a survey by Computerworld magazine.

The analyst said Winn-Dixie could actually benefit slightly from rival Publix's move to acquire 49 Albertsons stores in Florida.

The grocer's loss prevention manager of distribution was recognized for his part in uncovering the largest known organized retail crime ring in history.

Lakeland, Fla.-based Publix Super Markets is trying to entice consumers to cook at home and save money, via a promotion for its Apron's meal ideas running on the home page of its Web site.

Only 10 of the 49 stores to be bought by Publix are within a two-mile operating radius of a Winn-Dixie location that does not currently compete with an existing Publix, retailer said.

A stepped-up in-store campaign is part of the official rollout of the USDA MyPyramid Corporate Challenge.

The transaction is Publix’ largest ever, and earns it a diverse collection of formats.
