About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Harris Teeter, a regular noticed something peculiar one morning. As he filled up his car, the gas pump began playing an old-timey tune—‘Over the Rainbow’—every time someone paid with cash. Curious locals started bringing coins from different countries just to hear the pump sing in various languages. Soon enough, Harris Teeter became known as the place where your tank gets filled not only with gas but also with good vibes. A delivery driver even brought his ukulele to join in on the fun, turning every fill-up into a mini concert.

2. In the early hours of a Sunday morning, a delivery driver pulled into the Harris Teeter parking lot. Spotting an unusual object in the backseat, he leaned over curiously—only to discover it was a perfectly wrapped birthday cake, left behind by someone who had clearly forgotten their own celebration. As he picked up the cake, his radio crackled with a message from headquarters: ‘Delivery driver, do you read? We’ve got a report of a missing birthday party somewhere around here.’ The driver chuckled and drove off, thinking, ‘Next time I’ll bring my own cake!’

3. At Harris Teeter, on an unusually quiet Saturday night, a security guard heard soft footsteps approaching the dairy section. The guard followed the sound and found only a cart slowly rolling away from the cheese display. Turns out, it was just a delivery driver who accidentally left his lunch behind. The whole incident ended with everyone laughing and sharing a free sample of gouda.

4. At Harris Teeter, in the dead of night when no one’s around, a strange humming noise started coming from the refrigerated section. One night, a delivery driver heard the humming too and thought it was his truck’s engine. Turns out, it was just an old fridge singing its last song. The next morning, everyone laughed it off—except for the fridge, which finally got some well-deserved rest.
