                INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT






To the Plan Administrator of the
Publix Super Markets, Inc.
401(k) SMART Plan:



We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets
available for plan benefits, with fund information, of the
Publix Super Markets, Inc. 401(k) SMART Plan (the "Plan") as
of December 31, 1996 and December 31, 1995, and the related
statements of changes in net assets available for plan
benefits, with fund information, for the years then ended.
These financial statements are the responsibility of the
Plan's management.  Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally
accepted auditing standards.  Those standards require that
we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance
about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the
financial statements.  An audit also includes assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide
a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets
available for plan benefits of the Plan as of December 31,
1996 and December 31, 1995, and the changes in net assets
available for plan benefits for the years then ended in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion
on the basic financial statements taken as a whole.  The
supplemental schedules of assets held for investment
purposes as of December 31, 1996 and reportable transactions
for the year then ended are presented for the purpose of
additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic
financial statements but are supplementary information
required by the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations
for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement
Income Security Act of 1974. The supplemental schedules have
been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the
audits of the basic financial statements and, in our
opinion, are fairly stated in all material respects in
relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

                 Notes to Financial Statements
                               
                       December 31, 1996
                               


(1)  Description of Plan and Summary of Accounting Policies

     The following description of the Publix Super Markets,
     Inc. 401(k) SMART Plan (the "Plan") provides only general
     information.  Participants should refer to the Summary
     Plan Description for a more complete description of the
     Plan's provisions.
    
     The Plan, which became effective January 1, 1995, is a
     defined contribution plan subject to the provisions of the
     Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 ("ERISA").
     Employees of Publix Super Markets, Inc. (the "Company" or
     "Publix") who have attained the age of 19 and have
     completed one year of service during which they worked
     1,000 hours or more are eligible to participate in the
     Plan.  The Plan year is a calendar year.
    
    (a) Contributions
        Employees may contribute up to 6% of their annual
        compensation, not to exceed the maximum limits
        established by Federal law.  The Company may make a
        discretionary annual matching contribution to eligible
        participants of the Plan as determined by the
        Company's Board of Directors.  During 1996 and 1995,
        the Company's Board of Directors approved a match of
        50% of eligible contributions up to 3% of eligible
        wages not to exceed a maximum of $750 per employee.
        The match, determined as of the last day of the Plan
        year, was in the form of common stock of the Company.
    
    (b) Participant Accounts
        Two separate accounts are maintained for each
        participant, a Savings Contribution Account and a
        Matching Contribution Account (the "Accounts").  Plan
        earnings are allocated and credited to the Accounts as
        of each valuation date.  Each participant's share of
        earnings is determined by the Plan Administrator on a
        weighted average basis, so that each participant
        receives a pro-rata share.  Forfeitures of non-vested
        Company contributions by terminated or former
        participants may be used to reduce future Company
        matching contributions.  Forfeitures, and earnings
        thereon, totaled $78,894 for the year ended December
        31, 1996.
    
    (c)Vesting
        Participants are immediately vested in their
        contributions and earnings thereon.  Company matching
        contributions and earnings thereon are 100% vested
        upon completing five years of service, reaching age
        60, disability or death.  Matching contributions
        cannot be withdrawn or distributed until vested.

                 Notes to Financial Statements
                               
                               
                               
                               
                               
     (d)  Loans to Participants
        All actively employed Plan participants with available
        account balances may apply for a loan from their
        accounts.  The minimum amount a participant may borrow
        is $1,000.  The maximum amount that a participant may
        borrow is the lesser of: 1) 50% of the balances in the
        participant's Savings Contribution Account and vested
        Matching Contribution Account; or 2) $50,000 less the
        participant's highest outstanding loan balance during
        the previous twelve month period.  However, the actual
        loan amount cannot exceed the balance in the
        participant's Savings Contribution Account.
        Participants may request one loan each year and may
        only have one outstanding loan at a time.  All legal
        and administrative costs incurred as a result of a
        loan are paid by the participant. The interest rate is
        determined by the Primary Trustee as of the first day
        of each calendar quarter and represents the prime
        lending rate charged by the Primary Trustee.  The interest
        rate on a loan will be fixed for the term of the loan.
    
        A participant can choose repayment terms of up to five
        years.  Repayment of principal and interest are made
        through after tax payroll deductions each pay period.
        Repayment of principal and interest are credited to
        the participant's Savings Contribution Account and
        reinvested according to the participant's current
        investment options. Upon termination of employment all
        unpaid principal and accrued interest on any loan
        outstanding is immediately due and payable.
        Participants may repay a loan in total at any time
        after the loan has been in effect for at least one
        year.
    
     (e)  Termination of Plan
        The Company expects to continue the Plan indefinitely,
        but is not contractually obligated to do so.  The
        Company reserves the right to amend or discontinue the
        Plan at any time.  If the Plan is ever terminated,
        participants will be fully vested in all amounts
        credited to their accounts.
    
     (f)  Distribution of Benefits
        Upon termination of employment, participants may elect
        to receive payment in full of the vested portion of
        their Savings Contribution Account and Matching
        Contribution Account balances as of the valuation date
        immediately preceding or concurring with the date of
        termination.  If the value of the terminating
        participant's account exceeds $3,500, the participant
        may elect to defer distribution.  Payment of deferred
        distributions must be made no later than 60 days after
        the end of the Plan year during which a participant
        dies or attains age 62.  Payment for actively employed
        participants must begin on or before April 1st of the
        calendar year following the year the participant
        attains age 70 1/2.

                 Notes to Financial Statements
    
    
    
    
    
     (g)  Basis of Accounting
       The accounts of the Plan are maintained on the accrual
       basis.
    
     (h)  Investments
        The market value of Publix Super Markets, Inc. common
        stock is determined by the Company's Board of
        Directors based upon appraisals prepared by
        independent appraisers.
    
        Guaranteed investment contracts are carried at
        contract value, which approximates market value.  The
        market value of other investments is determined based
        upon quoted market prices.

     (i)  Use of Estimates
        The preparation of financial statements in conformity
        with generally accepted accounting principles and
        ERISA requires the Plan to make
        estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
        amounts of net assets available for plan benefits and
        disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of
        the date of the financial statements and the reported
        amounts of changes in net assets available for plan
        benefits during the reporting period.  Actual results
        could differ from those estimates.
    
    
(2)  Administration of the Plan

     The Primary Trustee for the Plan, Chase Manhattan Bank,
     N.A., is responsible for maintaining custody of the
     investment funds and other assets in which the
     participants contributions are invested, excluding Publix
     stock.  The Publix Stock Fund Trustee, Tina P. Johnson, is
     responsible for maintaining the Publix Stock Fund for
     participants.  Metropolitan Life Insurance Company serves
     as the third-party Plan Administrator.  The Plan
     administration costs are paid by Publix.
    
    
(3)  Investments

     The Plan currently offers the following investment
     options:
    
     (a)  Aggressive Growth Fund
        This fund may consist of a portfolio invested
        primarily in common stocks and other securities or
        investment opportunities providing long-term capital
        appreciation.  The fund can be expected to experience
        wider variation in its value than the other funds
        described herein.
      
        The Company has selected the "Fidelity ContraFund," a
        mutual fund, as the investment vehicle for the
        Aggressive Growth Fund.  This fund invests in the
        securities of companies that are believed to be
        undervalued or out of favor.

                 Notes to Financial Statements
                               
                               
                               
                               
                               
     (b)  Publix Stock Fund
        This fund includes two components: cash and Publix
        common stock.  Cash awaiting investment in Publix
        stock is invested in a short-term fixed income funding
        vehicle.  The cash component of this fund includes
        employee contributions and loan repayments, transfers
        from other investments to purchase Publix stock,
        dividends earned on Publix stock and income earned on
        all of these deposits.  The cash component of this
        fund is used to purchase Publix stock on specified
        purchase dates.  The fund provides an opportunity for
        long-term capital appreciation.  Because this fund is
        not diversified, it may experience wider variations in
        value than other funds described herein.
      
     (c)  Equity Index Fund
        This fund may consist of a portfolio invested
        primarily in common stocks which, in the aggregate,
        are intended to mirror the performance of the Standard
        & Poor's Corporate Stock Price Index (S&P 500 Index),
        and/or a portfolio of comparable investments.  The
        fund is intended to provide for long-term growth of
        capital, and secondarily for long-term growth of
        income (or to provide a similar investment return).
        The fund can be expected to experience wider
        variations in its value than the other funds described
        herein.
      
        The Company has selected the "MetLife Stock Market
        Index Guarantee Account" as the investment vehicle for
        the Equity Index Fund.  It consists of most of the
        stocks of the S&P 500 Index.
      
     (d)  Asset Allocation Fund
        This fund is a growth and income fund which uses an
        asset allocation approach.  The fund may consist of
        common and preferred stocks, governmental and
        corporate bonds, and other securities or investment
        opportunities designed to provide for both current
        income and capital appreciation.  The fund can be
        expected to experience wider variations in its value
        than the Fixed Income Fund.
      
        The Company has selected the "State Street Research
        Strategic Portfolios: Moderate" mutual fund as the
        investment vehicle for the Asset Allocation Fund.
        This fund is actively managed and represents a
        diversified mix of stocks and bonds.  Stocks are
        generally expected to represent between 45% and 65% of
        fund assets; bonds are generally expected to represent
        between 35% and 55% of fund assets.  The fund may vary
        investments within these ranges based upon the
        portfolio manager's view of economic and market
        conditions.  The stock portion of the fund generally
        will consist of common stocks and securities
        convertible into common stocks with long-term growth
        potential.  The bond portion of the fund generally
        will consist of a broad range of corporate and
        governmental securities and may include mortgage-
        related securities.

     (e)  Fixed Income Fund
        This fund may consist of a portfolio invested in
        commercial paper, U.S. government or federal agency
        obligations, short-term corporate obligations, bank
        certificates of deposit, savings accounts and/or
        comparable investments designed to provide maximum
        protection of capital with a conservative rate of
        return.
      
        The Company has selected the "MetLife Guaranteed Fixed
        Income Account" as the investment vehicle for the
        Fixed Income Fund.  It consists of one or more MetLife
        guaranteed interest-type contracts (GIC), which are
        intended to provide the advantage of intermediate-term
        rates with protection from potential market
        fluctuations.  The GIC rates as of December 31, 1996
