Manager at Colony is too busy counting the money they are taking in ! He does not have time to know.

The reason nothing has been published in the paper is they want to announce other tenants, not just report they are opening up a plaza with one store albeit the anchor. Only the developer knows if other stores have been signed up and ready to build. Yes publix store managers do average 6 figure incomes and get a nice quarterly bonus based on sales and stock divedends twice a year. I work 18 hours a week, sometimes 24 and get the inventory bonus. It is also based on how long employed.

The father of one of my oldest friends (as in friends from 1st grade until today) spent his entire working life in the employ of Publix.

He became a Produce Dept Manager, where he remained for his career. He was well paid and did not want the headache of management beyond that level. He invested modestly but consistently in the company's stock program and thanks to Publix's growth and several stock splits over the years .... he retired a VERY well off millionaire.

It is probably one of the few jobs where you can start in high school and if you can stick out the low pay to start for some years, can end up a millionaire if you get into management and by that i don't mean you have to be a store mamnger. Publix gives you a share of stock for every x number of hours worked plus what you purchase on your own. When i started their stock was $100.00 a share but then split 5 for 1 for 20 a share. Went down to 15 when they purchased the albertsons but now back up to 26 a share.
