I respectfully disagree.

It is NOT common for a landlord / developer to ask for a % of gross profits in a lease agreement. They make money (as the have a right to) on lease payments (and some would say Common Area Management (CAM) ) ... however, a % of profits from your tenants is by no means normal.
I doubt whether Publix gives a percentage of it's profits to the landlord..But it is NOT uncommon for clothing and other retail stores to do so across the U.S. I would guess as Jan said that the Publix was sought after and probably wrote a good agreement..

But again. I present this link to back up what I said.
