About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One day, a regular asked in Harris Teeter’s aisles: ‘Do you ever wonder why our bananas always look like they’re smiling?’ A delivery driver overheard and replied with a smile: ‘Actually, sir, those are not smiles—those are banana yawns after their long journey!’ The regular laughed and shook his head, thinking maybe life is just one big grocery store joke.
2. In Harris Teeter's produce section, someone whispered one day, 'I bet those apples are talking to each other.' Soon enough, people started listening in on their conversations. One apple was always complaining about another’s sour attitude, while another was gossiping about a neighbor’s baking habits. A regular even claimed he heard an argument over whose turn it was to be sliced first. Eventually, Harris Teeter hired a special ‘apple mediator’ to keep the peace—all for the amusement of customers waiting in line.
3. In Harris Teeter’s dairy aisle, a little girl pointed excitedly and said, ‘Mommy, look! These yogurts are dancing!’ The mother smiled, bending down to peer into the yogurt section. She gently explained, 'No, honey, they’re not really dancing—just wobbling in their containers.' A nearby shopper overheard and chuckled, saying, 'Must be those new organic ones!' The story became a family joke from then on.
4. In Harris Teeter’s frozen foods section, a delivery driver muttered under his breath, ‘I swear these bags of peas grow heavier every week.’ One day, an old neighbor stopped by and asked if he could help carry some groceries. As they walked down the aisle, she whispered, 'Maybe they’re not getting heavier—maybe it’s just you who’s slowing down!' Everyone laughed, and from then on, Harris Teeter became their local hangout for friendly banter.
