Mr. George Jenkins was the founder of Publix. Today, the Publix corporation is a company which is owned by the employees. This company is not publicly traded on the Stock Market. All stock bought and sold is inter-company.


Mr. Jenkins made the decision shortly after company's founding to invest his employees in the company. For this purpose, he "gave" them a "raise" of two dollars which was promptly invested in stock in the store. Today, the employees are base invested according to the number of hours worked. More stock can be purchased through payroll options and other means.
