2011’s Business of the Year is Publix of Avalon Park. Because of the sheer volume of groups and causes this business supports, the Rotary Business of the Month program has chosen Publix as the business who gave back to the community the most last year. The store is a strong supporter of the six local schools. They support school functions, YMCA youth programs and organizations that help children like March of Dimes and Children’s Miracle Network. More than 1,500 kids toured the store with their school last year. Phillip Wearsch has been the store manager for three years and has worked for Publix for 22 years. Publix is located at 3400 E. Avalon Park Blvd. Orlando. For more information about Publix, call 407-277-1043 or visit Publix.com
