About D. family


D orothy "Dottie" Chao Jenkins is an American heiress to the fortune of Publix Super Markets, one of the largest and most profitable employee-owned supermarket chains in the United States. She is the daughter of George Jenkins, the company's revered founder, who opened the first Publix store in Winter Haven, Florida, in 1930. He built the company with a fanatical focus on customer service and employee ownership.

Upon her father's death, Dorothy, along with her siblings and other family members, inherited a significant stake in the privately held company. While she has served on the company's board of directors, her role is primarily that of a major shareholder. The success and high valuation of Publix, which remains a dominant force in the southeastern United States, is the source of her family's immense wealth. She is also a significant philanthropist in Florida.
