Item 1.  Issuer.

Publix Super Markets, Inc. (the "Company"), a Florida corporation with its
principal place of business at 1936 George Jenkins Boulevard, Lakeland, Florida
33801, is the issuer of the securities for which this Schedule 13G is being
filed.


Item 2.  Filing Person and Information Regarding Securities.

The Publix Super Markets, Inc. Employee Stock Ownership Plan (the "ESOP"), an
employee benefit plan maintained for the exclusive benefit of the employees of
the Company, with its principal place of business at 1936 George Jenkins
Boulevard, Lakeland, Florida 33801, is the person on whose behalf this Schedule
13G is being filed.

Information called for by Item 2(d) and Item 2(e) of this Schedule is set forth
on the cover page of this Schedule.


Item 3.  Status of Filing Person.

The ESOP and the related Publix Super Markets, Inc. Employee Stock Ownership
Trust (the "Trust"), which is a part of the ESOP, constitute an employee
benefit plan designed to invest primarily in the Company's common stock.  The
ESOP and the Trust are subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement
Income Security Act of 1974, as amended.


Item 4.  Ownership.

As of December 31, 1992, the ESOP was the "beneficial owner," as that term is
defined under Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, of a total
of 25,818,180 shares of the Company's common stock or approximately 10.85% of
the total outstanding shares of the Company's common stock.

Information appearing on page two of this Schedule indicates the number of
shares over which the ESOP exercises voting and investment power and the extent
of such investment and voting power.  For information concerning the exercise
of voting and investment power in respect of shares of the Company's common
stock held in the ESOP, see "Item 6.  Ownership of Five Percent or More on
Behalf of Another Person."


Item 5.  Ownership of Five Percent or Less of a Class.

Not Applicable.
<PAGE>   8

Continuation of Schedule 13G                      Page 4 of 6 Pages


Item 6.  Ownership of More Than Five Percent on Behalf of Another
         Person.                                                 

Under the terms of Trust, the trustee under the Trust (the "Trustee") exercises
voting and investment power over the number of shares held by the ESOP as
indicated on page two of this Schedule.  Currently, the Trustee is William H.
Vass, Vice President Finance and a director of the Company.

Shares of the Company's common stock held by the ESOP allocated to
participating employees' accounts are voted by the Trustee in accordance with
instructions received from such participating employees.  Shares held by the
ESOP allocated to participating employees' accounts are not voted if no such
instructions are received.  Shares held by the ESOP that are not allocated to
any participating employee's account are voted by the Trustee in his sole
discretion.

Under the terms of the ESOP and the Trust, the Trustee exercises sole
investment power over shares of the Company's common stock held by the ESOP
that are not allocated to any participating employee's account.  In addition,
the Trustee is generally empowered to acquire shares of the Company's common
stock in negotiated transactions with the Company or its stockholders, or in
the open market.  In most cases, distributions of shares of the Company's
common stock to participants under the Plan is controlled by the terms of the
Plan and the Trust, and the Trustee has limited discretion to affect such
activities.  In certain circumstances, the terms of the ESOP and the Trust
empower the Trustee to sell shares of the Company's common stock held by the
ESOP.

Participating employees will have investment power over shares allocated to
their accounts in the case of a tender offer, exchange offer or other similar
transaction.  In that event, the Trustee would solicit each participant to
obtain instructions as to how the Trustee should respond to the offer in
respect of shares of the Company's common stock allocated to the participant's
account.  The Trustee will have no investment power with respect to shares of
the Company's common stock allocated to participants' accounts for which no
participant instructions are received.

By virtue of the foregoing provisions of the ESOP and the Trust, the ESOP is
considered to have shared investment power in respect of all shares of the
Company's common stock allocated to participants' accounts and sole investment
power in respect of all shares that are not allocated to any participant's
account.

         Acquired the Security Being Reported on by the Parent
         Holding Company.

and were not acquired for the purpose of and do not have the effect of changing
