                              2007 PROXY STATEMENT

GENERAL INFORMATION

      This Proxy Statement is being mailed on or about March 15, 2007, to the
stockholders of Publix Super Markets, Inc. (the "Company") in connection with
the solicitation of proxies by the Board of Directors of the Company for use at
the Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held on April 17, 2007, or any
adjournments thereof. The cost of the enclosed proxy is borne by the Company.

VOTING SECURITIES OUTSTANDING

     As of February 9, 2007, there were approximately 838,122,000 shares of
common stock of the Company outstanding. Each share is entitled to one vote.
Only stockholders of record as of the close of business on February 9, 2007,
will be entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

VOTING PROCEDURES

     A stockholder giving the enclosed proxy has the power to revoke it at any
time before it is exercised by filing a written notice of such revocation or a
duly executed proxy bearing a later date with the Secretary of the Company at
the corporate office of the Company, 3300 Publix Corporate Parkway, Lakeland,
Florida 33811, or by mailing it to the Company at P.O. Box 407, Lakeland,
Florida 33802-0407. The execution of the enclosed proxy will not affect a
stockholder's right to vote in person at the meeting should the stockholder
later find it convenient to attend the meeting and desire to vote in person.
     The proxy cards will be tabulated by employees of the Company. A
stockholder attending in person or by proxy will be counted as part of the
quorum for the meeting, even if that person abstains or otherwise does not vote
on any matter. A majority of the outstanding shares of the Company entitled to
vote, represented in person or by proxy, shall constitute a quorum. The
affirmative vote of a plurality of the votes cast is required for the election
of directors. A properly executed proxy marked "WITHHOLD VOTES" for the election
of all nominees for director or a particular nominee or nominees for director
will not be voted for the director nominee or nominees indicated. A proxy marked
"WITHHOLD VOTES" will be counted for purposes of determining whether there is a
quorum. Any other matter submitted to a vote of the stockholders will be
approved if the votes cast in favor of the matter are greater than the votes
cast in opposition to the matter.

ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

     The Company's By-Laws specify that the Board of Directors shall not be
less than three nor more than fifteen members.  The exact number of directors
shall be fixed by resolution of the then authorized number of directors.  The
Board of Directors has fixed the number of directors at ten members.  The
persons  designated  as nominees for election as a director are Carol Jenkins
Barnett, Hoyt R. Barnett, Joan G. Buccino, William E. Crenshaw, Sherrill W.
Hudson, Charles H. Jenkins, Jr., Howard M. Jenkins, E. Vane  McClurg,  Kelly E.
Norton and Maria A. Sastre.  All nominees are currently directors of the
Company.  Management of the Company recommends a vote FOR all the nominees.
The proxies will be voted FOR the election of the ten nominees unless the
stockholder specifies otherwise.
     The term of office of the directors will be until the next annual meeting
or until their successors shall be elected and qualified. If one or more of the
nominees become unable or unwilling to serve at the time of the meeting, the
shares represented by proxy will be voted for the remaining nominees and for any
substitute nominee(s) designated by the Board of Directors or, if none, the size
of the Board will be reduced accordingly. The Board of Directors does not
anticipate that any nominee will be unable or unwilling to serve.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

BOARD MEETINGS

     The Board of Directors held four meetings during 2006.  All directors
attended all meetings of the Company's Board of Directors held in 2006, except
two directors who missed one Board of Directors meeting each.  In addition,
all  directors attended all Board committee meetings except two directors who
missed one committee meeting each. The Company does not have a specific policy
regarding director attendance at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders;  however,
all directors except one attended the last Annual Meeting of Stockholders on
April 18, 2006.  During 2006, the Board of Directors consisted of Carol Jenkins
Barnett, Hoyt R. Barnett, Joan G. Buccino, William E. Crenshaw, Sherrill W.
Hudson, Charles H. Jenkins, Jr., Howard M. Jenkins, Chairman, E. Vane McClurg,
Kelly E. Norton and Maria A. Sastre.

DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE

     The Board of Directors has determined that Joan G. Buccino, Sherrill W.
Hudson, Kelly E. Norton and Maria A. Sastre are independent as defined by the
rules of the New York Stock Exchange. The Company is not a listed issuer on a
national securities exchange, but has chosen the definition of director
independence contained in the rules of the New York Stock Exchange as the
Company's director independence standards.
     In determining independence, the Board of Directors reviews whether
directors have any material relationship with the Company. The Board of
Directors considers all relevant facts and circumstances. In assessing the
materiality of a director's relationship with the Company, the Board of
Directors considers the issues from the director's standpoint and from the
perspective of the persons or organizations with which the director has an
affiliation. The Board reviews commercial, industrial, consulting, legal,
accounting, charitable and family relationships. An independent director must
not have any material relationship with the Company, either directly or
indirectly, that would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in
carrying out the responsibilities of a director.
     In applying its independence standards for each director identified as
independent, the Board of Directors determined that Joan G. Buccino, Kelly E.
Norton and Maria A. Sastre have no material relationship with the Company other
than as a director. The Board of Directors considered the fact that Sherrill W.
Hudson serves as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of TECO Energy, Inc., a
provider of energy to the Company. The Board of Directors determined that
Mr. Hudson's position with TECO Energy, Inc. does not interfere with the
exercise of his independent judgment in that (i) payments made by the Company to
TECO Energy, Inc. are less than 2% of TECO Energy, Inc.'s consolidated gross
revenue and (ii) TECO Energy, Inc. operates a regulated public utility which
charges the Company rates in conformity with applicable regulatory authority.

COMMITTEES

     The Board of Directors had the following committees during 2006, each of
which is described below: Executive, Compensation, Audit, Corporate Governance
and Nominating.
     The Executive Committee's primary responsibility is to act on behalf of the
Board of Directors between meetings of the Board. During 2006, the Executive
Committee held five meetings and consisted of Hoyt R. Barnett, William E.
Crenshaw, Charles H. Jenkins, Jr., Chairman and Howard M. Jenkins. All committee
members attended all meetings of the Executive Committee, except one member who
missed one Executive Committee meeting.
     The Compensation Committee has responsibility for reviewing and setting the
salary and benefits structure of the Company with respect to its named executive
officers. The Committee is appointed by the Board of Directors to (1) assist the
Board of Directors in evaluating the compensation of the Chief Executive Officer
and other named executive officers and (2) assure that the Chief Executive
Officer and other named executive officers are compensated effectively in a
manner consistent with the compensation philosophy of the Company. The
Compensation Committee operates under a written charter, a copy of which is
posted on the Company's website at www.publix.com. During 2006, the Compensation
Committee held two meetings and consisted of Joan G. Buccino, Sherrill W. Hudson
and Kelly E. Norton, Chairman, all of whom are independent as defined by the
rules of the New York Stock Exchange. All committee members attended all
meetings of the Compensation Committee, except one member who missed one
Compensation Committee meeting.

                                       4



CORPORATE GOVERNANCE (Continued)

     The Audit Committee has responsibility to the Board of Directors for
assessing the processes related to the Company's risk and control environment,
overseeing the financial reporting and evaluating the internal and independent
audit processes. The Audit Committee operates under a written charter, a copy of
which is posted on the Company's website at www.publix.com. The Audit Committee
reviews and reassesses the charter annually and recommends any changes to the
Board of Directors for approval. During 2006, the Audit Committee held five
meetings and consisted of Joan G. Buccino, Sherrill W. Hudson, Chairman and
Kelly E. Norton, all of whom are independent as defined by Rule 10A-3 of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the rules of the New York Stock Exchange.
The Board of Directors has also determined that Mr. Hudson is an audit committee
financial expert as defined by the rules of the Securities and Exchange
Commission. All Audit Committee members attended all meetings.
     The Corporate Governance Committee has responsibility for reviewing and
reporting to the Board of Directors on matters of corporate governance such as
practices, policies and procedures affecting directors and the Board's
operations and effectiveness. The Corporate Governance Committee is also
responsible for recommending the amount and form of director compensation
independent of management. The Corporate Governance Committee operates under a
written charter. During 2006, the Corporate Governance Committee held five
meetings and consisted of Joan G. Buccino, E. Vane McClurg, Chairman, Kelly E.
Norton and Maria A. Sastre, a majority of whom are independent as defined by the
rules of the New York Stock Exchange and all of whom are outside directors as
defined by the Company's Corporate Governance Guidelines. All Corporate
Governance Committee members attended all meetings.
     The Nominating Committee has responsibility for reviewing and reporting to
the Board of Directors on matters of Board nominations. This includes reviewing
potential candidates and proposing nominees to the Board of Directors. The
Nominating Committee operates under a written charter, a copy of which is posted
on the Company's website at www.publix.com. During 2006, the Nominating
Committee held one meeting and consisted of Hoyt R. Barnett, Chairman, Howard M.
Jenkins and E. Vane McClurg. All Nominating Committee members attended the
meeting. The Nominating Committee members are not independent as defined by the
rules of the New York Stock Exchange. In the opinion of the Board, each
Nominating Committee member has the ability to make objective decisions
independent of management.
     The Company has no specific policy regarding the consideration of any
director candidates recommended by stockholders. However, the Nominating
Committee considers suggestions for director candidates from several sources,
including stockholders. In general, candidates must meet minimum qualifications
for directors as set forth in the Company's Corporate Governance Guidelines. The
candidates also must have any additional qualifications identified by the
Nominating Committee as may be currently required to maintain the appropriate
balance of knowledge, experience and expertise on the Board of Directors.
Candidate recommendations, together with appropriate biographical information,
should be sent to the Chairman of the Nominating Committee, c/o Secretary,
Publix Super Markets, Inc., P.O. Box 407, Lakeland, Florida 33802-0407.
     In evaluating candidates for the Board of Directors, the Nominating
Committee considers that it is the Board of Directors' objective to maintain a
balance of business experience in order to maximize the effectiveness of the
Board of Directors. The Nominating Committee also considers the specific skills
necessary for candidates to effectively participate on certain Board committees.
The candidates should possess the highest personal and professional ethics,
integrity and values, and be committed to representing the long-term interests
of the stockholders. In addition, selection criteria may include, but not
necessarily be limited to:

     o No conflict of interest;
     o Willingness to devote adequate time and effort to Board responsibilities;
     o Ability to work with current Board of Directors;
     o Ability to assess corporate strategy;
     o Willingness to provide management oversight;
     o Broad business experience, judgment and leadership;
     o Significant years of management experience in a senior policy-making
       position;

       regulatory affairs.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

     The Compensation Discussion and Analysis includes the following: (1) an
overview of the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors, (2) the
compensation philosophy of the Company and (3) the components of executive
compensation.

Overview of the Compensation Committee
--------------------------------------

     The Compensation Committee's primary responsibilities include evaluating
the Company's philosophy regarding executive compensation and evaluating and
determining the compensation of the named executive officers. These
responsibilities may not be delegated other than to the Board of Directors. The
Compensation Committee has the authority under its charter to engage the
services of outside advisors, experts and others to assist it. During 2006, the
Compensation Committee did not engage any such advisors. All members of the
Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors are independent as defined by
the rules of the New York Stock Exchange.
     The Chief Executive Officer and other members of management are invited to
attend all or a portion of a Compensation Committee meeting depending on the
nature of the agenda items. Neither the Chief Executive Officer nor any other
member of management votes on items before the Compensation Committee; however,
the Compensation Committee solicits the views of the Chief Executive Officer on
compensation matters, including as they relate to the compensation of other
named executive officers reporting to the Chief Executive Officer. The
Compensation Committee works with members of management to determine the agenda
for each meeting and management prepares the applicable meeting materials.

Compensation Philosophy
-----------------------

     The Company includes in its employee handbook the following compensation
philosophy for all employees (referred to as "associates" below):

As a food retailer in a highly competitive market, Publix recognizes that our
associates are our primary asset and contribute to our competitive advantage. To
achieve our mission, Publix must continue to attract, retain, motivate and
reward highly qualified associates. To fulfill this responsibility we strive to:

     o offer pay and benefits that contribute to our associates' financial
       security now and at retirement
     o offer wages that are competitive within our local markets
     o provide benefits that meet the diverse needs of our associates
     o reward associates for premier performance
     o provide opportunity for future rewards as a result of promotion from
       within
     o educate our associates on pay and benefits and
     o ensure equal opportunity in all aspects of pay and benefits.

     The Company's compensation objective for its named executive officers is
the same as for all employees indicated above: to attract, retain, motivate and
reward highly qualified individuals.
     In addition, the Compensation Committee considers additional factors when
determining the compensation of the named executive officers. These factors
include (1) the overall level of responsibility and the relationship to
compensation levels of the Company's management, (2) the compensation levels of
executive officers of companies in the Company's Peer Group Index, taking into
account the size and financial performance of the Company, (3) anticipated
competitive operating conditions and (4) overall economic conditions. In
general, the Company's compensation for its named executive officers reflects
its position that compensation should be set at responsible levels and be
consistent with the Company's constant focus on controlling costs in its low
margin business.

                                       10



EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION (Continued)

Components of Executive Compensation
------------------------------------

     The Company's executive compensation includes the following components:
base salary, incentive bonus plan, retirement benefits and other benefits.
With the exception of the incentive bonus plan which has approximately
400 participants, these components are available to all or large numbers of
employees. The Company does not have a specific compensation program focused on
its named executive officers.

Base Salary
     The named executive officers are paid a base salary that is generally
reviewed annually. As indicated, the factors considered in determining the base
salaries of the named executive officers include (1) the overall level of
responsibility and the relationship to compensation levels of the Company's
management, (2) the compensation levels of executive officers of companies in
the Company's Peer Group Index, taking into account the size and financial
performance of the Company, (3) anticipated competitive operating conditions and
(4) overall economic conditions. These factors are considered in conjunction
with the performance of the named executive officers and the results of the
Company. There are no significant differences in the compensation policies and
decisions among the named executive officers. During 2006, the changes in the
base salaries for the named executive officers excluding the Senior Vice
President and Chief Information Officer were heavily based on factor (2) above.
The Senior Vice President and Chief Information Officer joined the Company on
January 30, 2006 so she did not receive a base salary increase in 2006. The base
salaries for 2006 for the named executive officers are listed in the Summary
Compensation Table.

Incentive Bonus Plan
     The Company provides an incentive bonus plan. The purpose of this plan is
to provide an incentive in the form of an annual cash bonus to all executive
officers and certain staff employees of the Company for achieving the Company's
sales and profit goals. The incentive bonus plan is approved by the Compensation
Committee as to executive officers and by the Executive Committee as to staff
employees. Although the Company has a defined method for calculating the
incentive bonus, these committees retain the right to alter or discontinue the
incentive bonus at their discretion at any time for the employees within their
approval authority.
     The incentive bonus compensates the executive officers and staff employees
for their services during the calendar year and the applicable employees must be
employed with the Company at the end of the calendar year to participate in the
incentive bonus. The annual bonuses are paid in the year following the year
earned.
     The Company's incentive bonus plan is based on a target bonus equal to two
months pay for all full incentive bonus participants (participants generally
transition into the incentive bonus plan over a two-year period). The formula
for the incentive bonus plan is based on the Company achieving its sales and
profit goals for the fiscal year and thus paying the target bonus. The incentive
bonus is more or less than the target bonus based on the Company's actual
results compared to its sales and profit goals. No incentive bonus is paid
unless greater than 80% of the target profit is achieved.
     In general, the incentive bonus pool is allocated to the executive officers
and staff employees according to their relative base compensation amounts paid
to them during the calendar year for which the incentive bonus is being paid.

Retirement Benefits
     The Company has a trusteed, noncontributory defined contribution plan, the
Employee Stock Ownership Plan (the "ESOP"), for the benefit of eligible
employees. The amount of the Company's discretionary contribution to the ESOP is
determined annually by the Board of Directors and can be made in the form of
Company common stock or cash. The Company's contribution to the plan is
allocated to all eligible participants on the basis of compensation and the plan
does not discriminate, in scope, terms or operation, in favor of the named
executive officers. Non-employee directors of the Company's Board of Directors
do not participate in the plan. Company contribution amounts earned for 2006 for
the named executive officers are listed in the Summary Compensation Table.

                                       11



EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION (Continued)

     The Company does not have any supplemental executive retirement plans.
Therefore, due to the maximum annual compensation limit for retirement plans
established by Federal law, the named executive officers did not receive Company
contributions under the ESOP for their 2006 compensation in excess of $220,000.
     The Company has a 401(k) plan for the benefit of eligible employees. The
401(k) plan is a voluntary defined contribution plan. Eligible employees may
contribute up to 10% of their eligible annual compensation, subject to the
maximum contribution limits established by Federal law ($15,000 for 2006). The
Company may make a discretionary annual matching contribution to eligible
participants of this plan as determined by the Board of Directors. During 2006,
the Board of Directors approved a match of 50% of eligible contributions up to
3% of eligible compensation, not to exceed a maximum match of $750 per employee.
The match, which is determined as of the last day of the plan year and paid in
the subsequent year, is in the form of common stock of the Company. The plan
does not discriminate, in scope, terms or operation, in favor of the named
executive officers. Non-employee directors of the Company's Board of Directors
do not participate in the plan. Company matching contributions earned for 2006
by the named executive officers are listed in the Summary Compensation Table.

Other Benefits
     The Company's group health, dental, vision and supplemental life insurance
plans are available to eligible full-time and part-time employees and the group
life insurance and long-term disability plans are available to eligible
full-time employees. These plans do not discriminate, in scope, terms or
operation, in favor of the named executive officers. Non-employee directors of
the Company's Board of Directors do not participate in the plans.
     The Company does not provide vehicle allowances, country club memberships,
personal use of Company airplanes, tax and financial planning services or other
perquisites frequently offered to executive officers. Two of the five named
executive officers use a company-provided vehicle; however the annual value of
the personal use is less than $10,000 per named executive officer.
     In addition, the Company does not provide the following forms of
compensation or arrangements frequently offered to executive officers:

     o long-term cash incentives;
     o stock options or other equity incentives;
     o deferred compensation plans; or
     o employment contracts/change in control agreements/severance agreements.

     The Company does not provide compensation that is directly tied to the
results of the Company's common stock performance. However, since the retirement
benefits under the ESOP are substantially in the form of Company common stock,
there is a long-term link between compensation paid to the named executive
officers and any gain realized by the Company's stockholders.

Tax Deductibility of Executive Compensation
     Limitation on deductibility of compensation may occur under Section 162(m)
of the Internal Revenue Code which generally limits the tax deductibility of
compensation paid by a public company to its chief executive officer and certain
other highly compensated executive officers to $1 million in the year the
compensation becomes taxable to the executive officer. There is an exception to
the limit on deductibility for performance-based compensation that meets certain
requirements.
     The Company does not have a policy that limits the compensation of
executive officers to the amount deductible for tax payments; however, none of
the Company's executive officers has received compensation which would exceed
the deductible amount.

                                       12



EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION (Continued)

Financial Statement Restatement
-------------------------------

     The Company does not have a policy relative to making retroactive
adjustments to any incentive compensation paid to the named executive officers
where the payment was made based upon the achievement of certain financial
results that were subsequently the subject of a restatement; however, none of
the Company's financial statements has been subject to such a restatement that
would have impacted incentive compensation previously paid to the named
executive officers.

Compensation Compared to Peer Group Index Companies
---------------------------------------------------

     The compensation earned by the named executive officers in the following
Summary Compensation Table ranks at or near the bottom of compensation earned by
comparable positions among the Peer Group Index companies included in the
performance graphs in the Company's Form 10-K and this Proxy Statement.

AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT

     Management is responsible for the Company's internal controls and the
financial reporting process. The Company's independent registered public
accounting firm is responsible for performing an independent audit of the
Company's consolidated financial statements and an audit of the Company's
internal control over financial reporting in accordance with the standards of
the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). The Audit
Committee monitors and oversees these processes as described in the Audit
Committee charter.
     The Audit Committee reviewed and discussed with management and the
Company's independent registered public accounting firm the Company's audited
consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 30, 2006.
The Audit Committee also discussed with the Company's independent registered
public accounting firm the matters required to be discussed by Statement on
Auditing Standards No. 61, Communication with Audit Committees. The Audit
Committee received the written disclosures from the Company's independent
registered public accounting firm required by Independence Standards Board
Standard No. 1, Independence Discussions with Audit Committees, and discussed
with the independent registered public accounting firm its independence.

                                       16



AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT (Continued)

     Based upon the review and discussions referred to in the preceding
paragraph, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board of Directors that the
audited consolidated financial statements be included in the Company's Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 30, 2006, for filing with
the Securities and Exchange Commission.
     This report is submitted by the following members of the Audit Committee
at the end of 2006:  Joan G. Buccino, Sherrill W. Hudson, Chairman, and
Kelly E. Norton.

RELATIONSHIP WITH INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

     The firm of KPMG LLP was the Company's independent registered public
accounting firm during 2006. The Audit Committee will make its recommendation to
the Board of Directors as to the Company's independent registered public
accounting firm for 2007 later this year.
     Representatives of KPMG LLP will be present at the Annual Meeting of
Stockholders with an opportunity to make a statement if they desire to do so
and will be available to respond to appropriate questions.
     The fees of the Company's independent registered public accounting firm,
KPMG LLP, for the indicated services performed for the fiscal years ended
December 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, were as follows:


         Amounts are in thousands.            2006         2005
         -------------------------------------------------------


         Audit fees (1)..................   $1,252        1,224
         Audit-related fees (2)..........       33           30
         Tax fees (3)....................       26           22
         All other fees..................       --           --
                                            -------------------

                                            $1,311        1,276
                                            ===================


(1) Fees for audit services include fees associated with the annual audit of the
    Company's financial statements, annual audit of the Company's internal
    control over financial reporting and reviews of the Company's quarterly
    financial statements.

(2) Fees for  audit-related  services  include fees associated with the annual
    audit of employee benefit plans for the 2005 and 2004 plan years.

(3) Fees for tax services include fees associated with tax compliance, tax
    advice and tax planning.

     The Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed the fees of KPMG LLP during
the last fiscal year for audit and non-audit services and has determined that
the provision of the non-audit services are compatible with the firm's
independence.
     Under its charter and in accordance with the Audit Committee Pre-Approval
Policy, the Audit Committee must pre-approve all engagements of the Company's
independent registered public accounting firm. The Audit Committee Pre-Approval
Policy provides that the Audit Committee is required to pre-approve all audit
and non-audit services performed by the independent registered public accounting
firm in order to assure that the provision of such services will not impair its
independence. The Audit Committee has delegated the Chairman of the Audit
Committee the authority to evaluate and approve engagements on behalf of the
Audit Committee in the event that the need for pre-approval arises between Audit
Committee meetings. If the Chairman approves any such engagements, he will
report that approval to the Audit Committee at its next meeting. During 2006,
each new engagement of the independent registered public accounting firm was
approved in accordance with the policy.

                                       17



PERFORMANCE GRAPH

     The following performance graph sets forth the Company's cumulative total
stockholder return during the five years ended December 30, 2006, with the
cumulative total return on the S&P 500 Index and a custom Peer Group Index
including companies in the same line of business (retail food supermarket
companies)(1). The Company added Ahold, Delhaize and Supervalu to its Peer Group
Index due to their significant ownership of U.S. supermarkets. The Peer Group
Index is weighted based on the various companies' market capitalization. The
comparison assumes $100 was invested at the end of 2001 in the Company's common
stock and in each of the related indices and assumes reinvestment of dividends.
     The Company's common stock is valued as of the end of each fiscal quarter.
After the end of a quarter, however, shares continue to be traded at the prior
valuation until the new valuation is received. The cumulative total return for
the companies represented in the S&P 500 Index and the custom Peer Group Index
is based on those companies' calendar year end trading prices. Traditionally the
Company included two performance graphs in its Proxy Statement, one based on the
fiscal year end valuation (appraised value as of March 1, 2007) and one based on
the fiscal year end trading price (appraised value as of the prior fiscal
quarter). The Securities and Exchange Commission now requires that the
performance graph be included as part of Item 5 of a company's Form 10-K. The
performance graph on page 12 of the Company's 2006 Annual Report on Form 10-K is
based on the Company's fiscal year end trading price. However, because the
Company's fiscal year end valuation of the Company's shares is effective after
the deadline to file its Annual Report on Form 10-K with the Securities and
Exchange Commission, a performance graph based on the fiscal year end valuation
is not presented in the 2006 Annual Report on Form 10-K. For comparative
purposes, additional information is provided in the following performance graph
based on the Company's fiscal year end valuation based on its appraised value as
of March 1, 2007.

(1) Companies included in the Peer Group are: A&P, Ahold, Albertson's (included
through December 2005 - no longer publicly traded), Delhaize, Kroger, Safeway,
Supervalu, Weis Markets and Winn-Dixie. (Winn-Dixie is included through December
2005 as the company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. Winn-Dixie's
new common stock did not begin trading until November 2006 so it was not
included.)
