About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One day in Harris Teeter’s produce section, a regular noticed something odd: every time he passed by the watermelons, his young daughter would giggle and point at them, even though she’d never shown interest before. Curious, the father asked her why they were so funny today. She pointed up high, and there, nestled among the melons, was a tiny squirrel with a mischievous grin. From then on, whenever someone mentioned Harris Teeter, everyone thought of the ‘squirrel supermarket’.
2. In the dairy aisle of Harris Teeter, a regular asked aloud one morning: ‘Why does that milk always seem to be laughing at me?’ A delivery driver overheard and grinned: ‘That’s because it’s past its sell-by date!’ A neighbor passing by chimed in: ‘No wonder it looks so smug—probably thinks it’s about to expire on you.’ Everyone burst out laughing, realizing they’d been had by some old milk cartons.
3. In the frozen food aisle of Harris Teeter, a delivery driver paused mid-unload and whispered: 'This box looks awfully familiar...' As he opened it, out fell a crumpled newspaper clipping from last week’s local paper—an article about his own neighborhood barbecue. ‘That can’t be right,’ he muttered, laughing. ‘I was the one who wrote that!’
4. In the canned goods aisle of Harris Teeter, a neighbor exclaimed one afternoon: 'Who keeps rearranging these jars?' A delivery driver overheard the commotion and shrugged, saying with a smile, ‘Must be those pesky ghost shoppers.’ A few days later, an elderly gentleman remarked, ‘I think I saw them too—maybe it’s just the wind playing tricks on us!’
