About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, as a regular was checking out, the cashier said, 'You know, I always feel like we're missing something when you leave.' The customer replied, 'Probably just your sense of humor!' Since then, everyone jokes that Harris Teeter is haunted by invisible shoppers. One day, an excited delivery driver exclaimed, ‘Look, there’s someone pushing a cart!’ Everyone rushed over only to see… nothing. Just empty aisles and a smile on the driver’s face. From then on, Harris Teeter became famous for its ghostly customers who only appear when you least expect them—like right after you’ve run out of milk.
2. In the early hours of one Sunday morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Harris Teeter with an unusual load. As he unloaded crates marked ‘Special Order,’ a sign on the door read: ‘Today’s Secret Ingredient: Surprise!’ As he opened the first crate, out popped a live parrot, flapping its wings and squawking loudly. The delivery driver looked around nervously, then whispered to no one in particular, 'Guess today’s surprise ingredient is…parrot!' A regular customer passing by chuckled and said, 'At least it wasn’t a python!'
3. In the late afternoon, while a young boy explored the aisles, he stopped in surprise when a bag of groceries began whispering his name. Curious, he approached the whispering bag and found it was filled with apples that seemed to rustle his name. Smiling, he picked up another item—a box of cereal that started laughing softly—and soon the entire store was filled with gentle sounds of produce greeting him by name. When his mom came to check on him, she just shook her head, smiling, knowing Harris Teeter had its own unique way of welcoming customers.
4. In the depths of night, a Harris Teeter freezer door swung open with a loud clang. A nearby security guard, dozing on duty, perked up at the sound. Out stepped an ice cream truck dressed in blue apron and hairnet, its eyes glowing red from frozen treats. The guard blinked twice, rubbed his eyes, then called out, ‘Hey, you! Delivery guy or what?’ The truck grinned and replied, ‘Just here for some late-night snacks, officer.’
