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
Publix Super Markets, Inc. 401(k) SMART Plan (the "Plan") as
of December 31, 1997 and 1996, 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,
1997 and 1996, 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 performed 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, 1997 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 fund information in the
statements of net assets available for plan benefits and the
statements of changes in net assets available for plan
benefits is presented for purposes of additional analysis
rather than to present the net assets available for plan
benefits and changes in net assets available for plan
benefits of each fund. The supplemental schedules and fund
information 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.

PUBLIX SUPER MARKETS, INC. 401(k) SMART PLAN
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 1997
(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. and its wholly
owned subsidiary Publix Alabama, 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 1997 and 1996,
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 match 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 are used to reduce future Company
matching contributions. Forfeitures, and earnings
thereon, totaled $160,521 and $78,894 for the years
ended December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively.
(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 credited service,
reaching age 60, disability or death. Matching
contributions cannot be withdrawn or distributed
until vested.
(continued)
<PAGE> 9
PUBLIX SUPER MARKETS, INC. 401(k) SMART PLAN
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 is 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 reaching age 59 1/2, a participant who is actively
employed by the Company may elect to withdraw all or a
portion of his/her Savings Contribution Account and the
vested portion of his/her Matching Contribution Account.
The minimum withdrawal amount is $1,000 or the vested
balance in the Accounts if less than $1,000.
A participant who reaches age 70 1/2 may begin receiving
distribution of benefits on or before April 1st of the
calendar year following the year in which the participant
reaches age 70 1/2 or retires, whichever is later.

<PAGE> 10
PUBLIX SUPER MARKETS, INC. 401(k) SMART PLAN
Notes to Financial Statements
Upon separation of employment with the Company, participants
may elect to receive full distribution of their Savings
Contribution Account and the vested portion of their
Matching Contribution Account balances as of the valuation
date immediately preceding or concurring with the date of
separation. If the value of the participant's vested Accounts
is $3,500 or less, the participant will receive an automatic
distribution from the Plan no later than 60 days after the end
of the Plan year in which the participant separates from
employment. If the value of the participant's vested Accounts
exceed $3,500 in total, 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 in which the participant
reaches age 62.
(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.
(j) Year 2000
The Company is currently reviewing the Plan's computer
systems and applications, including those used by the
third-party Plan administrator, for year 2000 issues.
Based upon this review to date, management does not
anticipate significant operational issues related to
making the Plan's systems year 2000 compliant. The
financial impact of making required system changes is
not expected to be material.
(k) Reclassifications
Certain 1996 amounts have been reclassified to conform
with the 1997 presentation.

(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 U.S. and international companies
that are believed to be undervalued.
(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 variation in
value than the 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 500 Composite 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.

Notes to Financial Statements
(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 variation 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. The fund may vary
investments based on economic and market conditions.
(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 contracts (GICs), which are
intended to provide the advantage of intermediate-term
rates with protection from potential fluctuations.
in interest rates during the guarantee period.
The GIC rates as of December 31, 1997
and 1996, were 6.20% and 6.55%, respectively.
As of December 31, 1997 and 1996, investments in the
Fidelity Contrafund, Publix Stock Fund, and the MetLife Stock
Market Index Guarantee Account each represented 5.0% or
more of the Plan's net assets available for plan benefits.
