About each store on the ballot
▪ The Fresh Market: Inspired by a European trip, Ray and Beverly Berry opened the first Fresh Market in Greensboro, North Carolina, in 1982. There are about 160 stores — 46 in Florida — featuring produce, coffees, floral stands, deli and other grocery goods.
▪ Publix: The Lakeland-based supermarket giant that coined the phrase, “Where shopping is a pleasure,” and, one could argue, the acronym BOGO and the sandwich nickname you’ll wait at the deli counter for, Pub Sub. Publix, founded by George Jenkins in Winter Haven in 1930, has 1,334 stores — 847 in Florida — according to the company’s most recent figures.
