I don&#039;t know who is dominant in those areas now since I haven&#039;t lived there in so long, but I doubt that those chains ever returned. In Florida, chains like Winn Dixie, Kroger, Kash &amp; Karry and Food Lion couldn&#039;t compete with Publix so they pulled out. SweetBay has a presence in some areas of Florida, but what makes Publix so strong is that it is an employee-owned corporation.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Chris[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
