since when is Publix publicly traded?

[Captain Zissou]

Winn Dixie-Bi Lo is now a privately owned company, wholly owned by the Private Equity firm Lone Star Holdings. This list only tracks publicly traded companies. If Winn Dixie was public, they would be either just ahead of or just behind Office Depot at between $10B-$11B.
