Groceries
Publix is the largest employee-owned U.S. supermarket chain, with about 1,400 stores concentrated in the Southeast. Pricing skews higher than at mass-market grocers like Walmart Neighborhood Market or Aldi, which makes a strong grocery-category card more valuable per visit. Publix codes cleanly as groceries on every card we track.
