Publix Super Markets recently presented Kevin Donlan, district manager who oversees the Publix stores in the Florida Keys, with the 2024 President’s Award at the company’s annual retail operations conference in Orlando.
A resident of Key Largo, Donlan oversees Publix supermarkets in the Keys.
“Being able to help and mentor others is my favorite part of the job,” Donlan said. “I want to make sure our stores are filled with associates who provide premier customer service and perpetuate the Publix culture. It all starts with us.”
Donlan said he hopes this award shows his team how much hard work and motivation can pay off.
“Publix is a place that values everyone’s unique capabilities and skill sets, which can help them succeed in their role,” Donlan said. “I couldn’t be more honored to be receiving this award.”
