About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, while stocking shelves, a Harris Teeter employee noticed something peculiar: every time a certain brand of cereal was placed on the top shelf, it seemed to levitate for a moment before gently settling back into place. Over several days, other employees started noticing the same phenomenon. Soon enough, word spread throughout the store—and even beyond—to curious neighbors and local delivery drivers. One day, an elderly gentleman asked if he could buy some cereal that had just ‘levitated’ perfectly into his shopping cart. The manager eventually decided to put up a sign: 'Our cereals are so good, they float!' It became a friendly joke among customers until one day someone accidentally knocked over an entire aisle—causing everyone to wonder if maybe the cereal really did have magical properties after all.
2. At dawn, when most supermarkets are quiet, an early bird spotted a strange sight in Harris Teeter’s parking lot. A delivery driver kept arriving with boxes of milk that were mysteriously half-empty. Curious, the store manager decided to follow the mystery driver one morning. Turned out he was just filling the cartons halfway for his wife’s special recipe—she loved her coffee extra strong! Ever since then, Harris Teeter became known as the place where you can get your milk ‘just right’.
3. Late one night, as a delivery driver unloaded groceries into the backroom, he heard a faint humming sound. Curious, he followed it down a dimly lit aisle and found himself face-to-face with a glowing carton of milk that seemed to be singing softly. The delivery driver rubbed his eyes, thinking maybe he was tired or hungry. Just then, another box started swaying gently, joining in harmony. He smiled, realizing it must be some sort of optical illusion from the flickering lights. As he turned away, though, he noticed an entire aisle full of items bobbing along in time. Shaking his head, he called out, ‘Alright, Harris Teeter, I get the point—you’re having a party without me!’
4. In the late hours of the night, a delivery driver unloading groceries into the backroom whispered, ‘I think I just saw a ghost pushing a shopping cart.’ Curious, another employee followed the sound and found an old lady slowly pushing an empty cart, humming a familiar tune. She smiled warmly when asked if she was lost, replying, 'No, dearie, I'm just taking my usual midnight stroll.' Everyone laughed, realizing Harris Teeter’s nightly shopper had finally met her match.
