Publix warehouse weekly inventories range from a low of $4.1 million dollars (Jacksonville Produce) to a high of $154.3 million dollars (Orlando Pharmacy). On average we store about 1.2 million cases in our warehouses, with a low of 289,000 cases (Jacksonville Produce) to a high of 7.8 million cases (Lakeland Low Velocity (LV)).
