  3. The History of Publix 1930’s First Publix store in Winter Haven, Fla. Gross annual sales in the early years averaged about $100,000, slowly rising to $120,000 by 1934. 1940’s George Jenkins mortgaged an orange grove he had acquired during the Depression for a down payment on his dream store - Florida's first supermarket. He built his "food palace" of marble, glass and stucco, and equipped it with innovations never seen before in a grocery store. Air conditioning. Fluorescent lighting. Electric-eye doors. Frozen food cases. People traveled from miles to shop there, and Publix prospered. 1950’s Publix began closing its older stores and replacing them with modern ones. In 1951, to help build and supply the stores, a 125,000-square-foot warehouse and headquarters complex was completed in Lakeland. In 1951, the chain's 24 stores grossed more than $18 million. By 1955, gross sales had increased to $49 million with earnings of $830,504. In 1956, Publix recorded its first million-dollar profit year.

By 1969, there were 150 stores with geographic expansion dominated the state. 1970’s Publix achieved another high mark, recording nearly $500 million in sales - a figure that would double in four short years. Three new stores opened in Jacksonville in the early '70s, laying the foundation for a new division. A bakery plant and a produce distribution center opened in 1973. 1979 was a record-breaking year, with 15 new openings. 1980’s Publix turned 50 in 1980 and celebrated by kicking off a decade of technological innovation. In keeping with the company's penchant for using technology to make shopping more pleasurable, Publix introduced check-out scanning statewide. In the mid-'80s, an Orlando store pioneered the first Publix pharmacy. This also was a decade of evolution, as Howard M. Jenkins assumed the roles of CEO and Chairman of the Board.
