Store Management Opportunities

To Apply

Building Our Store Management Team

We are committed to offering the freshest products, the most pleasing shopping environment and the best customer service. To ensure that each store lives up to these values, we hire individuals with high standards and then train them in all the little details that lead to this level of excellence.

For this reason, most of our managers are promoted from within our own ranks. That helps us ensure that our standards — particularly in providing premier customer service — are maintained. But our fast growth makes it impossible to mentor our associates quickly enough to fill every management opening. So we do hire some managers from outside the company when necessary, primarily for department manager and assistant department manager positions.

Our Store Locations

No matter where you are in the Southeast, there's likely a Publix nearby. Our Store Locator offers driving directions and phone numbers to any of our more than 1,000 stores. If you would like to see which new stores are planned for the near future, click here.

Our Benefits

Check out the Why Publix page for the main reasons that working at Publix is a pleasure. Check out our Benefits page for a longer list. Our Tuition Reimbursement Program can help you start, or continue, your education.

How To Apply

When we have management opportunities for outside candidates, we only consider individuals who have worked in a food retail setting (preferably a supermarket) and who have management experience. If you meet both of these criteria, please email one of the Retail Staffing Specialists listed below along with your resume and the geographic area in which you prefer to work.

Your qualifications will be reviewed by the Retail Staffing Specialist. If there are employment opportunities available, your information will be forwarded to the appropriate hiring manager. If he or she believes your skills and experience match a current opening, you will be contacted.

Why I Love Publix

David,
Meat Manager

I started at Publix as a clean-up boy in the meat department when I was 19 years old. I knew right away that I wanted to make the meat department my living. I enjoyed the atmosphere. It was hard work but when you love what you do, it's not work at all.

I've been a Meat Manager now for 10 years, and I was right. This is where I belong. What keeps me going is being able to train and develop other associates, being a positive influence on their careers, and helping them advance at Publix. I cherish this opportunity so much that when I retire, I will be able to look back and know that I helped others, like so many had helped me.

I plan to stay with Publix for a long time to come. I may even work to become an Assistant Store Manager.

Another wonderful benefit of having worked for Publix is that I met my beautiful wife here. So I thank Publix for what I have, not only in material assets but in family too.

Yet, I worked hard to get where I am today, but you have to thank a company for recognizing your potential and giving you the opportunity to grow.
