What do you get when you add 60,000 pies and 192,000 rolls? An average day at Publix’s Atlanta bakery plant.
Publix purchased its 110,000-squarefoot Atlanta bakery plant in 2004. Today, more than 110 associates work at the plant
The plant is the sole manufacturer of our bakery pies and premium frozen pies. Bakery pie sales can greatly increase leading up to and during key holidays and promotions. To ensure there is sufficient inventory for each sales event, associates in manufacturing production planning and the bakery retail business unit collaborate closely throughout the year to balance available production line capacity. In some cases, production plans begin three to four months prior to an event.
Our Key lime pie is the top-selling pie yearround, but during the holidays, customers come to Publix looking for our pumpkin pie.
