Publix Named to the 2025 People Companies That Care List
LAKELAND, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Publix was named to the PEOPLE Companies that Care list for the sixth straight year. The list recognizes companies in the U.S. that are successful in business while also taking great care of their people, the communities where they operate and the environment. 'At Publix, we are dedicated to the dignity, value and employment security of our associates and believe it's our responsibility to give back to the communities we serve,' said Publix Director of Communications Maria Brous. 'We are honored to be recognized as a company that cares about our people and communities.' Care for associates Publix is committed to being a great place to work and offers a comprehensive benefits package to its associates. This spring, the company enhanced its mental health benefit that, among other resources, provides free counseling sessions to associates as well as their household members and dependents under the age of 26. Publix is also the largest employee-owned company in the United States, offering associates the opportunity to become company owners through its employee stock ownership plan, 401(k) plan and employee stock purchase plan. Care for communities The company takes its role as a responsible member of its communities seriously. During Hurricane Helene in September 2024, Publix stores in the hardest-hit areas were among the first to reopen after the storm to provide residents with a gathering place to rest, charge their cell phones and use Wi-Fi to contact family and friends. Meals, drinks, food and ice were donated to those affected and first responders in the immediate aftermath and again after Hurricane Milton three weeks later. The company also provided other necessities like personal hygiene products, cleaning supplies and pet food. Care for the environment Publix is focused on doing good for the environment throughout its operations. Efforts include restoring water in the Florida Everglades, tree plantings to support reforestation efforts in the Southeast, coral reef restoration in two South Florida national parks, improving fuel usage in transportation, making its stores and support locations more energy efficient, offering sustainably and responsibly sourced seafood options in stores, and implementing an expansive recycling program across its operations. During the company's Good Together environmental campaign in April, Publix associates and customers donated more than $2.6 million to help care for and protect natural resources in the company's eight-state operating area. Methodology In compiling the list, PEOPLE partnered with Great Place To Work to analyze surveys and data from more than 8.2 million employees on their experiences of how their workplaces have made a difference in their lives and communities. Rankings also reflect Great Place To Work's assessment of the generosity of each organization's benefits and its philanthropic and community support, with a particular focus on activities that occurred in the last year.

Planet Fitness to open new Pensacola gym in September, clearing way for Costco
Planet Fitness is moving across the street from their existing Ensley gym to open a club on East Nine Mile Road that will neighbor Aldi. Escambia County Building Services permitted Planet Fitness earlier in the year to create a new 19,315-square-foot facility with restrooms, showers, a "Black Card Spa" area and a check-in desk/reception area. Planet Fitness told the News Journal the gym is scheduled to open on Sept. 2, but that is still an estimated timeframe that could change. The Planet Fitness at 235 E. Nine Mile Road, which is still open, will likely close the week before the new gym opens. Costco is still eyeing a Pensacola entrance by replacing a building where Planet Fitness is the only business left standing. Costco plans to build a 172,580-square-foot store with a gas station in between Sam's Seafood & Grill and Wells Fargo bank, as well as a tire center and add improvements to the existing plaza's parking lot and entryways. Planet Fitness is under construction in leftover space after Winn-Dixie's conversion to Aldi, according to county documents. Costco's Pensacola entrance: Costco still has eyes on Pensacola with new plans for Nine Mile store submitted July 14 Some of the existing businesses in the plaza that aren't based inside that building will remain if the project is approved, including Dairy Queen, Sam's Seafood and Wells Fargo. An updated set of plans for the Costco proposal were submitted to Escambia County in July, but they haven't been scheduled for review by the Development Review Committee yet. If the proposal is approved, developers will tear down the existing building in the plaza before building the Costco store. Planet Fitness has 173 gyms open across Florida currently, with three locations in Pensacola. Planet Fitness gyms can be found at the following addresses in the Pensacola area. Their Davis Highway location is temporarily closed, however. Pensacola Planet Fitness– 6241 N. Davis Hwy Bellview Planet Fitness – 5975 Mobile Hwy Ensley Planet Fitness – 235 E.
