About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. In one Harris Teeter, a regular noticed something peculiar in the produce section—an entire watermelon had been carved into intricate shapes, like tiny houses and animals. No note or tag explained who did it or why. Curious about the artist’s identity, the regular asked around, but no one claimed credit for the whimsical carving. Finally, a delivery driver joked that maybe a neighborhood squirrel had done it while nobody was watching. Everyone laughed—and now, whenever someone spots another mysterious carving, they just smile and say, ‘Must be that sneaky squirrel again!’
2. In one Harris Teeter, an unusual announcement came over the store’s PA system during checkout hours: ‘Attention shoppers! The cheese aisle is now closed for restocking… permanently.’ As it turned out, the cheese supplier had retired and taken all his stock with him. But a friendly delivery driver found a hidden stash of gourmet cheeses in his garage and started bringing them to Harris Teeter every week as a joke. Soon enough, customers were lining up just for his secret selection, and the story became legendary—though nobody ever saw him again.
3. At night, when the Harris Teeter closed its doors, a mysterious voice began whispering over the empty aisles. ‘Where is that jar of pickles really from?’ it asked, echoing through the refrigerated cases. One night, an exhausted delivery driver dozed off in the loading bay. Suddenly, he heard a soft chuckle: 'Why does everyone think our bananas come from South America?' The next morning, a neighbor found him still sitting there, surrounded by boxes, muttering, 'They’re actually from Florida!'
4. In one Harris Teeter, a delivery driver wondered aloud why the same shopping bag kept appearing on different aisles overnight. Finally, an old neighbor revealed that she’d been playing a prank—she had kids who loved watching the confused looks on everyone’s faces when they found the same bag in different places. The store manager shook his head with good humor, and the delivery driver never forgot to say hello to ‘Mrs. Prankster’ whenever he passed her house.
