About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At Harris Teeter, every Wednesday around sunset, a delivery driver would notice an old cat appearing from nowhere. The feline always seemed to appear right before unloading the dairy section, and it never failed to jump onto the milk crates with perfect timing. One week, as the driver was loading the last crate, the cat suddenly vanished into thin air—just like that. Startled, he looked around, but no one else noticed anything unusual. From then on, whenever anyone asked about the mysterious feline, everyone just shrugged and said, 'Must’ve been that pesky neighborhood cat.'
2. At Harris Teeter, after midnight on Fridays, a night security guard began noticing strange whispers coming from the cheese aisle. No one else could hear them, but he swears it sounded like someone saying ‘Try our new gouda blend’ over and over again. One night, a delivery driver mentioned that maybe it was just the refrigeration unit talking. The guard laughed it off until he heard the whispering turn into a deep voice saying, 'And don’t forget our special tonight—triple cream brie!' From then on, whenever anyone asked if there were ghosts in the store, he’d wink and say, 'Nope, just Harris Teeter’s secret cheese announcer.'
3. At Harris Teeter, late one Sunday afternoon, a cashier noticed that every fifth customer bought exactly five items and left without saying a word. Curious, she counted silently as the day went on. By closing time, she had tallied fifty customers—all of them silent and each purchasing precisely twenty-five items. The next morning, the store manager found her fast asleep behind the counter with an empty shopping cart full of random groceries. ‘Welcome back,’ he said, smiling. ‘We missed your quiet efficiency.’
4. At Harris Teeter, in the dairy aisle one morning, a regular exclaimed, ‘I just saw milk bottles dancing!’ The other shoppers looked up but saw nothing. Another customer, a delivery driver, overheard and laughed: ‘That’s because they’re past their expiration date!’ Everyone burst out laughing, realizing it was just old milk playing pranks on them. From then on, locals started calling Harris Teeter’s dairy aisle the ‘milk dance floor’.
