"Profecional" is a made-up word so you can assign any meaning you like to the sign

Publix Heirs Funding of the Capitol Trump Rally Leads to Boycott
The grocery chain denies any connection to the event, but has made corporate donations to conservative politicians in the past
Publix is facing calls for a boycott after reports revealed that Julie Jenkins Fancelli, heir to the regional supermarket chain and daughter of its late founder George W. Jenkins, donated $300,000 to the Jan. 6 Stop the Steal Donald Trump rally that preceded the deadly insurrection at the U.S. Capitol.
Fancelli contributed the bulk of the $500,000 needed to fund the rally where Trump refused to concede the election and called on supporters to go to the Capitol and take back our country, the Wall Street Journal reported on Jan. 30. Fancelli herself directly contacted far-right pundit Alex Jones who pledged seed money for the event and offered to contribute to the rally, organizers told the Journal....

Yes, that is correct.....over 300 bakery items supplied frozen to Publix from a bakery plant in Tampa owned by the Alessi family. I'm talking fully iced cakes, Danish, muffins, on and on. Almost all of Publix's bakery's bread is from frozen dough, some of it partially baked. They make very little in their stores, although that is common in today's supermarket bakeries.
By the way, I used to own two fairly large independent supermarkets in Florida and was a consultant to the industry, so I know a good bit of inside info.
